Recent advances in ecosystem nitrogen cycling: mechanism, measurement, and modeling of N2O emissions 唐剑武 [email protected] Outlines • • • • • The nitrogen cycle N2O production Measurement of N2O fluxes Control on N2O fluxes C-N interaction Why nitrogen? • Along with carbon, nitrogen is the building block for all organisms. • Human alters the nitrogen cycle more than the carbon cycle: – Anthropogenic N fixation is more than the natural process. – Extra N is released to the atmosphere and deposited to the earth: N deposition. – Extra N as the form of N2O is emitted to the atmosphere as a potent greenhouse gas. – Extra N is transferred to the water: eutrophication Galloway et al. 2003 www.Initrogen.org The fate of fixed N in the U.S. in 2007 Suddick and Davidson 2012 Research Goal Advancing our understanding in the nitrogen cycle to optimize the N use and minimize the harmful impacts on human and the environment: – N2O emissions – N pollution Climate change and greenhouse gases • Climate change – Global warming (~0.1°C/10 years, not regional, not short-term) – Sea level rise (~0.8 mm/year) – Changed precipitation pattern – Extreme weather • Climate change is induced by greenhouse gases: CO2, CH4, and N2O Atmospheric GHG concentration CO2 N2O CH4 IPCC 2007 Nitrification and denitrification Chapin et al, 2002 10 N2O production Hole-in-the-piple model (Davidson et al. 2000) N2O flux is driven by temperature, moisture, redox potential, pH, and substrate availability (N & C). IPCC emissions factor • 1% of fertilizer N (IPCC 2007) • 2.5% of fertilizer N (Davidson 2009) • 3-5% of fertilizer N (Crutzen et al. 2008) Can we simply use the emissions factor to calculate N2O emissions? Africa’s new green revolution: Can we boost the yield while minimize N2O emissions? Increasing average nutrient additions from 8 to 50 kg fertilizer ha-1 yr-1 could result in 2-3 times of crop yield. But what is the consequence of greenhouse gas emissions? IFDC 2006 Can we find an optimal line? Crop yield Greenhouse gas emissions Fertilizer ?? ? Questions for N2O production • How do N2O fluxes respond to temperature, N contents, and soil properties? • Are N2O fluxes primarily driven by denitrification or nitrification processes?

In review Summary • Simulating and predicting greenhouse gas emissions requires us to advance knowledge in coupled carbon and nitrogen cycles. • Sustainable ecosystem management requires us to optimizing nitrogen use while decreasing environmental impacts.
