Effects of nitrogen deposition and biochar application on soil N2O fluxes in a Moso bamboo plantation

doi:10.13287/j.1001-9332.202109.027

Abstract

Abstract: In July 2019-July 2020, we conducted a field trial to examine the effects of nitrogen addition (60 kg N·hm^-2·a^-1), biochar application (10 t·hm^-2), and their combination on soil N₂O emission and the relationship between soil N₂O emission and environmental factors in a typical Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) plantation in Hangzhou City of Zhejiang Province. Soil N₂O flux of Moso bamboo plantation was measured by the static chamber-gas chromatography technique. The results showed that nitrogen addition treatment increased the annual cumulative N₂O emission by 14.6%, while biochar application and the combination treatment reduced it by 20.8% and 10.6%, respectively. Soil N₂O flux rate was significantly correlated with soil temperature, NO₃^--N concentration, urease and protease activities, and soil NH₄⁺-N concentration across all treatments. In conclusion, under the background of nitrogen deposition, the application of biochar would have a significant reduction effect on soil N₂O fluxes in Moso bamboo plantations.

Key words: Moso bamboo plantation, N₂O, biochar, nitrogen deposition, nitrogen form
