| Abstract: |
| This study explores the mechanisms underpinning the dicyandiamide(DCD)-reducing nitrous oxide(N2O) emissions. This was carried out using two aerobic incubation experiments to examine the effects of DCD on the production of N2O from NO2--N by adding DCD combined with NH4+-N or NO2--N. Then, the effects of NO2--N accumulation on N2O emissions was determined by adding different amounts of NO2--N. The results showed that DCD only inhibited N2O emissions during the oxidation of ammonium nitrogen(NH4+-N) and had no effect on N2O emissions during the reduction of NO2--N. DCD significantly inhibited the oxidation of NH4+-N and decreased the net nitrification rate at 7 d following incubation; however, the net nitrification rate increased significantly following the addition of DCD to NO2--N soil. Following 30 d of culture, DCD had no effect on the oxidation of NH4+-N and NO2--N. The addition of exogenous NO2--N significantly promoted N2O emissions, and these emission rates were significantly higher than those of the control treatment. Cumulative N2O emissions were significantly positively correlated with the NO2--N concentrations, whereas the cumulative CO2 emissions demonstrated the opposite relationship. These results indicate that DCD may eliminate the toxicity caused by the accumulation of NO2--N, although it is only effective in reducing N2O emissions during the oxidation of ammonia oxidation. Therefore, new inhibitors that restrict N2O production from NO2--N are urgently needed. |
