Abstract
In Mediterranean regions, the accumulation of nitrogenous substrates in soil during summer fallow period has been linked to pulses of N2O emissions upon soil rewetting. Although the mechanisms of N2O emission after soil rewetting have been previously studied, potential mitigation of agronomic practices on N2O pulses is still poorly understood. We studied the N2O emissions after rewetting of degraded soils managed by no-tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT), both with or without lime application under laboratory conditions. The soil was rewetted to 50 and 100% of field capacity (FC) and the N2O fluxes, size, structure and gene transcription of the microbial communities involved in the N2O emissions were evaluated. Liming reduced the cumulative N2O emission by more than 70 and 65% respect to the unamended soil after soil rewetting to 50% and 100% of FC, respectively, whereas no significant effect of tillage on N2O emission was observed. Liming strongly influenced the size and structure of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and denitrifier communities, increased the transcription of the nirK after soil rewetting, while transcription of genes encoding nitrification enzymes was undetectable. Tillage slightly affected the nitrifier and denitrifier communities, with CT increasing the size of nosZ community. The results indicated that the N2O pulse after soil rewetting was caused by denitrification rather than nitrification. In addition, the increase of nirK transcription suggested that the mitigation of N2O emissions observed in limed soils was due to changes in the denitrification process, possibly with a higher or more efficient reduction of N2O to N2. This study showed the potentials of NT and liming management to mitigate the N2O emission from degraded Mediterranean soils after soil rewetting due to changes in the efficiency of the denitrification process. Our results also showed the usefulness of coupling determinations of gas emission, microbial community structure and gene transcription to clarify the underlying mechanisms of N2O emissions from soil.
