Influences of irrigation and fertilization on soil N cycle and losses from wheat–maize cropping system in northern China
2021
Excess of water irrigation and fertilizer consumption by crops has resulted in high soil nitrogen (N) losses and underground water contamination not only in China but worldwide. This study explored the effects of soil N input, soil N output, as well as the effect of different irrigation and N- fertilizer managements on residual N. For this, two consecutive years of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) –summer maize (Zea mays L.) rotation was conducted with: N applied at 0 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹, 420 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ and 600 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ under fertigation (DN0, DN420, DN600), and N applied at 0 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ and 600 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ under flood irrigation (FN0, FN600). The results demonstrated that low irrigation water consumption resulted in a 57.2% lower of irrigation-N input (p < 0.05) in DN600 when compared to FN600, especially in a rainy year like 2015–2016. For N output, no significant difference was found with all N treatments. Soil gaseous N losses were highly correlated with fertilization (p < 0.001) and were reduced by 23.6%–41.7% when fertilizer N was decreased by 30%. Soil N leaching was highly affected by irrigation and a higher reduction was observed under saving irrigation (reduced by 33.9%–57.3%) than under optimized fertilization (reduced by 23.6%–50.7%). The net N surplus was significantly increased with N application rate but was not affected by irrigation treatments. Under the same N level (600 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹), fertigation increased the Total Nitrogen (TN) stock by 17.5% (0–100 cm) as compared to flood irrigation. These results highlighted the importance to further reduction of soil N losses under optimized fertilization and irrigation combined with N stabilizers or balanced- N fertilization for future agriculture development.

The effects of warming and elevated ozone (O₃) concentrations on nitrous oxide (N₂O) emission from cropland has received increasing attention; however, the small number of studies on this topic impedes understanding. A field experiment was performed to explore the role of warming and elevated O₃ concentrations on N₂O emission from wheat-soybean rotation cropland from 2012 to 2013 using open-top chambers (OTCs). Experimental treatments included ambient temperature (control), elevated temperature (+2 °C), elevated O₃ (100 ppb), and combined elevated temperature (+2 °C) and O₃ (100 ppb). Results demonstrate that warming significantly increased the accumulative amount of N₂O (AAN) emitted from the soil-winter wheat system due to enhanced nitrification rates in the wheat farmland and nitrate reductase activity in wheat leaves. However, elevated O₃ concentrations significantly decreased AAN emission from the soil-soybean system owing to reduced nitrification rates in the soybean farmland. The combined treatment of warming and elevated O₃ inhibited the emission of N₂O from the soybean farmland. Additionally, both the warming and combined treatments significantly increased soil nitrification rates in winter wheat and soybean croplands and decreased denitrification rates in the winter wheat cropping system. Our results suggest that global warming and elevated O₃ concentrations will strongly affect N₂O emission from wheat-soybean rotation croplands.

2020
Zhao, Hui | Zheng, Youfei | Zhang, Yuxin | Li, Ting
In order to tackle China’s severe air pollution issue, the government has released the “Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan” (known simply as the “Action Plan”) since 2013. A recent study reported a decreased trend in PM₂.₅ concentrations over 2013–2017, but O₃ pollution has become more serious. However, the effects of surface O₃ on crops are unclear after the implementation of the “Action Plan”. Here, we evaluated the potential negative effects of surface O₃ on three main food crops (winter wheat, maize and rice) across China during 2015–2018 using nationwide O₃ monitoring data and AOT40-yield response functions. Results suggested that mean O₃ concentration, AOT40 and relative yield loss in China showed an overall upward trend from 2015 to 2018. During winter wheat, maize, single rice, double-early rice, and double-late rice growing seasons, mean O₃ concentration in recent years ranged from 38.6 to 46.9 ppb, 40.2–43.9 ppb, 39.3–42.2 ppb, 33.8–40.0 ppb, and 35.9–39.1 ppb, respectively, and AOT40 mean values ranged from 8.5 to 14.3 ppm h, 10.5–13.4 ppm h, 9.8–11.9 ppm h, 5.2–9.2 ppm h, and 8.0–9.5 ppm h, respectively. O₃-induced yield reductions were estimated to range from 20.1 to 33.3% for winter wheat, 5.0–6.3% for maize, 7.3–8.8% for single rice, 3.9–6.8% for double-early rice and 5.9–7.1% for double-late rice. O₃-induced production losses for winter wheat, maize, single rice, double-early rice, and double-late rice totaled 39.5–88.2 million metric tons, 12.6–21.0 million metric tons, 9.5–11.3 million metric tons, 1.2–1.8 million metric tons, and 2.2–2.7 million metric tons, respectively, and the corresponding economic losses totaled 14.3–32.0 billion US$, 3.9–6.5 billion US$, 3.9–4.6 billion US$, 0.5–0.7 billion US$, and 0.9–1.1 billion US$, respectively. Our results suggested that the government should take effective measures to reduce O₃ pollution and its effects on agricultural production.

2015
Broberg, Malin C. | Feng, Zhaozhong | Xin, Yue | Pleijel, Håkan
We synthesized the effects of ozone on wheat quality based on 42 experiments performed in Asia, Europe and North America. Data were analysed using meta-analysis and by deriving response functions between observed effects and daytime ozone concentration. There was a strong negative effect on 1000-grain weight and weaker but significant negative effects on starch concentration and volume weight. For protein and several nutritionally important minerals (K, Mg, Ca, P, Zn, Mn, Cu) concentration was significantly increased, but yields were significantly decreased by ozone. For other minerals (Fe, S, Na) effects were not significant or results inconclusive. The concentration and yield of potentially toxic Cd were negatively affected by ozone. Some baking properties (Zeleny value, Hagberg falling number) were positively influenced by ozone. Effects were similar in different exposure systems and for spring and winter wheat. Ozone effects on quality should be considered in future assessments of food security/safety.

2012
Feng, Zhaozhong | Tang, Haoye | Uddling, Johan | Pleijel, Håkan | Kobayashi, Kazuhiko | Zhu, Jianguo | Oue, Hiroki | Guo, Wenshan
Stomatal ozone flux and flux–response relationships were derived for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown under fully open-air ozone fumigation. A stomatal conductance (gₛₜₒ) model developed for wheat in Europe was re-parameterized. Compared to European model parameterizations, the main changes were that the VPD and radiation response functions were made less and more restrictive, respectively, and that the temperature function was omitted. The re-parameterized gₛₜₒ model performed well with an r² value of 0.76. The slope and intercept of the regression between observed and predicted gₛₜₒ were not significantly different from 1 to 0, respectively. An ozone uptake threshold of 12 nmol m⁻² s⁻¹ was judged most reasonable for the wheat flux–response relationship in subtropical China. Judging from both flux- and concentration-based relationships, the cultivars investigated seem to be more sensitive to ozone than European cultivars. The new flux–response relationship can be applied to ozone risk assessment in subtropical regions.

We assessed nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions at shoulder and foot-slope positions along three sloping sites (1.6–2.1%) to identify the factors controlling the spatial variations in emissions. The three sites received same amounts of total nitrogen (N) input at 170kgNha⁻¹. Results showed that landscape positions had a significant, but not consistent effect on N₂O fluxes with larger emission in the foot-slope at only one of the three sites. The effect of soil inorganic N (NH₄ ⁺+NO₃ ⁻) contents on N₂O fluxes (r²=0.55, p<0.001) was influenced by water-filled pore space (WFPS). Soil N₂O fluxes were related to inorganic N at WFPS>60% (r²=0.81, p<0.001), and NH₄ ⁺ contents at WFPS<60% (r²=0.40, p<0.01), respectively. Differences in WFPS between shoulder and foot-slope correlated linearly with differences in N₂O fluxes (r²=0.45, p<0.001). We conclude that spatial variations in N₂O emission were regulated by the influence of hydrological processes on soil aeration intensity.

Elevated carbon dioxide (ECO₂) concentration has profound impacts on ecosystem carbon fluxes, with consequent changes in carbon sequestration and its feedback to climate change. Agroecosystem plays an essential role in global carbon sequestration. However, it is not well understood how the carbon fluxes of agroecosystem respond to increasing atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. In this study, an in-situ 2-year field experiment was conducted using open-top chamber with treatments including ambient CO₂ concentration (CK) and ambient plus 200 μmol mol⁻¹ (T) to investigate the characteristics and main factors influencing carbon fluxes during the 2017–2019 winter wheat growing seasons. Results showed that the dynamics of CO₂ fluxes under different treatments had similar seasonal trends, with the peak flux observed at the heading-filling stage. Compared to the CK, T treatment increased the cumulative amount of CO₂ (CAC) by 17.2% and 24.0% in 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 growing seasons, respectively. In addition, the seasonal CAC was highly dependent on treatment and varied with year, while there was no interactive effect of treatment and year (p > 0.05). ECO₂ concentration increased the biomass of wheat by an average of 8.28% over two growing seasons. There was a significant positive correlation between biomass and CAC, with biomass elucidating 52% and 76% of the variations in CAC under CK and T treatments, respectively. A good correlation was found between net ecosystem exchange (NEE) and environmental variables under different treatments. During the pre-milk ripening period, the NEE mainly depended on photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and air temperature (Ta), while NEE was mainly controlled by PAR and soil water content (SWC) during the post-milk ripening period. Overall, the findings presented here demonstrate that the carbon exchange in wheat fields under different treatments serves as carbon sequestration, while ECO₂ concentration enhances the capacity of winter wheat fields to act as carbon sinks, which may have feedback to the climate system in the future.

2021
Zhang, Chong | Rees, R. M. (Robert M.) | Ju, Xiaotang
New agronomic and management approaches are urgently required to meet the challenges of improving resource use efficiency and crop yields in intensive agricultural systems. Here we report the fertilizer N use efficiency (FNUE), fate of fertilizer N and N budgets in newly designed cropping systems as compared with conventional winter wheat-summer maize double cropping (Con. W/M) in the North China Plain. A¹⁵N labelling approach was used to quantify FNUE by these new cropping systems which included optimized winter wheat-summer maize (Opt. W/M) with two harvests in one year; winter wheat/summer maize-spring maize (W/M-M) and winter wheat/summer soybean-spring maize (W/S-M) with three harvests in two years, and spring maize (M) with one harvest in one year. The results showed that only 18–20% of fertilizer N was recovered by crops in Con. W/M. Although Opt. W/M significantly increased FNUE to 33%–35% with increased crop yields, it consumed as much groundwater as Con. W/M. The W/M-M, W/S-M and M significantly increased FNUE to 27%–44% and reduced groundwater use and fertilizer N losses when compared to Con. W/M. The W/M-M achieved a comparable grain yield, but W/S-M and M had significantly lower grain yields when compared to Con. W/M. However, grain N harvest in W/S-M was comparable with Con. W/M due to higher grain N content in soybean. Post-anthesis fertilizer N uptake provided little contribution to total N uptake, and accounted for 5%, 12%, 7% and 2% of the average N uptake for winter wheat, spring maize, summer maize and summer soybean, respectively. When taking the second crop into account, Con. W/M recovered 27% of fertilizer N, while it increased to 36%–50% under the new cropping systems. We conclude that W/M-M and W/S-M will deliver significant improvements in the environmental footprints and sustainability of intensively managed cropping systems in the North China Plain.

2018

Accelerated industrialization has been increasing releases of chemical precursors of ozone. Ozone concentration has risen nowadays, and it's predicted that this trend will continue in the next few decades. The yield of many ozone-sensitive crops suffers seriously from ozone pollution, and there are abundant reports exploring the damage mechanisms of ozone to these crops, such as winter wheat. However, little is known on how to alleviate these negative impacts to increase grain production under elevated ozone. Nitric oxide, as a bioactive gaseous, mediates a variety of physiological processes and plays a central role in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present study, the accumulation of endogenous nitric oxide in wheat leaves was found to increase in response to ozone. To study the functions of nitric oxide, its precursor sodium nitroprusside was spayed to wheat leaves under ozone pollution. Wheat leaves spayed with sodium nitroprusside accumulated less hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde and electrolyte leakage under ozone pollution, which can be accounted for by the higher activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase than in leaves treated without sodium nitroprusside. Consequently, net photosynthetic rate of wheat treated using sodium nitroprusside was much higher, and yield reduction was alleviated under ozone fumigation. These findings are important for our understanding of the potential roles of nitric oxide in responses of crops in general and wheat in particular to ozone pollution, and provide a viable method to mitigate the detrimental effects on crop production induced by ozone pollution, which is valuable for keeping food security worldwide.

2016
Yi, Fujin | Jiang, Fei | Zhong, Funing | Zhou, Xun | Ding, Aijun
The impact of surface ozone pollution on winter wheat yield is empirically estimated by considering socio-economic and weather determinants. This research is the first to use an economic framework to estimate the ozone impact, and a unique county-level panel is employed to examine the impact of the increasing surface ozone concentration on the productivity of winter wheat in China. In general, the increment of surface ozone concentration during the ozone-sensitive period of winter wheat is determined to be harmful to its yield, and a conservative reduction of ozone pollution could significantly increase China's wheat supply.
