This study was carried out to investigate whether ryegrass serving as cover crop affects soil N2O emissions and denitrifier community size. A microcosm experiment was conducted with soil planted with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and bare soil, each with four levels of N fertilizer (0, 5, 10 and 20 g N m−2; applied as calcium ammonium nitrate). The closed‐chamber approach was used to measure soil N2O fluxes. Real‐time PCR was used to estimate the biomass of bacteria and fungi and the abundance of genes involved in denitrification in soil. The results showed that the presence of ryegrass decreased the nitrate content in soil. Cumulative N2O emissions of soil with grass were lower than in bare soil at 5 and 10 g N m−2. Fertilization levels did not affect the abundance of soil bacteria and fungi. Soil with grass showed greater abundances of bacteria and fungi, as well as microorganisms carrying narG, napA, nirK, nirS and nosZ clade I genes. It is concluded that ryegrass serving as a cover crop holds the potential to mitigate soil N2O emissions in soils with moderate or high NO3− concentrations. This highlights the importance of cover crops for the reduction of N2O emissions from soil, particularly following N fertilization. Future research should explore the full potential of ryegrass to reduce soil N2O emissions under field conditions as well as in different soils. Highlights This study was to investigate whether ryegrass serving as cover crop affects soil N2O emissions and denitrifier community size; Plant reduced soil N substrates on one side, but their root exudates stimulated denitrification on the other side; N2O emissions were lower in soil with grass than bare soil at medium fertilizer levels, and growing grass stimulated the proliferation of almost all the denitrifying bacteria except nosZ clade II; Ryegrass serving as a cover crop holds the potential to mitigate soil N2O emissions."],["dc.description.sponsorship","China Scholarship Council http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100004543"],["dc.description.sponsorship","The National Science Project for University of Anhui Province"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/ejss.13047"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/83616"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.publisher","Blackwell Publishing Ltd"],["dc.relation.eissn","1365-2389"],["dc.relation.issn","1351-0754"],["dc.rights","This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited."],["dc.title","The potential of ryegrass as cover crop to reduce soil N2O emissions and increase the population size of denitrifying bacteria"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

While aboveground plant residues have been proven to increase $ emissions, studies on root litter effects are scarce. This study aimed (1) to evaluate how fresh maize root litter affects $ emissions compared to fresh maize shoot litter, (2) to assess whether $ emissions are related to the interaction of C and N mineralization from soil and litter, and (3) to analyze changes in soil microbial community structures related to litter input and $ emissions. To obtain root and shoot litter, maize plants (Zea mays L.) were cultivated with two N fertilizer levels in a greenhouse and harvested. A two-factorial 22 d laboratory incubation experiment was set up with soil from both N levels (N1, N2) and three litter addition treatments (control, root, root + shoot). We measured $ and $ fluxes, analyzed soil mineral N and water-extractable organic C (WEOC) concentrations, and determined quality parameters of maize litter. Bacterial community structures were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Maize litter quality controlled ^−_3$ and WEOC availability and decomposition-related $ emissions. Emissions induced by maize root litter remained low, while high bioavailability of maize shoot litter strongly increased $ and $ emissions when both root and shoot litter were added. We identified a strong positive correlation between cumulative $ and $ emissions, supporting our hypothesis that litter quality affects denitrification by creating plant-litter-associated anaerobic microsites. The interdependency of C and N availability was validated by analyses of regression. Moreover, there was a strong positive interaction between soil ^−_3$ and WEOC concentration resulting in much higher $ emissions, when both ^−_3$ and WEOC were available. A significant correlation was observed between total $ and $ emissions, the soil bacterial community composition, and the litter level, showing a clear separation of root + shoot samples of all remaining samples. Bacterial diversity decreased with higher N level and higher input of easily available C. Altogether, changes in bacterial community structure reflected degradability of maize litter with easily degradable C from maize shoot litter favoring fast-growing C-cycling and N-reducing bacteria of the phyla Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria. In conclusion, litter quality is a major driver of $ and $ emissions from crop residues, especially when soil mineral N is limited."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.5194/bg-2019-320"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.5194/bg-2019-320-supplement"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/17344"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/91954"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Agrarwissenschaften"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject","NITROUS-OXIDE EMISSIONS; CHEMICAL-COMPOSITION; MICROBIAL BIOMASS; CROP RESIDUES; SP-NOV.; HETEROTROPHIC NITRIFICATION; NITRIFIER DENITRIFICATION; CARBON MINERALIZATION; AGROFORESTRY RESIDUES; BIOCHEMICAL QUALITY"],["dc.subject.ddc","630"],["dc.title","Maize root and shoot litter quality controls short-term $ and $ emissions and bacterial community structure of arable soil"],["dc.type","preprint"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The use of nitrification inhibitors (Nls) has repeatedly been shown to minimize N2O emissions; however, their effectiveness in reducing N2O emissions varies greatly under different environmental conditions. A better understanding of how and to what extent NIs can mitigate fertilizer related soil-borne N2O emissions under a range of different conditions is required. In the present study, we carried out a soil incubation experiment in a fully automated continuous-flow incubation system under conditions favoring either nitrification- or denitrification-derived N2O emissions. Additionally, the abundance of AOB amoA, and AOA amoA genes was quantified and N2O isotopic signatures were analyzed. We mixed a common NI (PIADIN (R)) with mineral fertilizer (ammonium sulfate) and examined the N2O mitigation potential of the NI in a fertilized sandy soil (low denitrification potential) and a sandy soil mixed with wheat straw (high denitrification potential) at 70% water holding capacity (WHC). In non-NI treatments, the addition of straw led to a drastic increase of CO2 and N2O emissions compared to the non-straw-amended soils, suggesting stimulated microbial activity and higher denitrification rate. The NI reduced N2O emissions in the straw-amended treatment by 41%, whereas in the treatment without straw this was only 17%. With the combination of N2O isotopic signatures and functional gene abundances, fungal denitrification was considered to be the major process contributing to the higher N2O fluxes specifically in straw-amended soils. Overall, our study indicated that NI can be used as an effective method for mitigating N2O emissions in cropland specifically when the denitrification potential is high, e.g. in moist N-fertilized and straw-amended soils.
