有机态氮是土壤氮素的主要存在形式,在农田生态系统氮循环中占有重要地位.了解土壤有机氮官能团组成,可为制定合理的农田管理措施提供科学依据.同步辐射软X射线近边吸收谱(N K-edge XANES)技术,是原位测定土壤有机氮官能团组成最有效的方法,但利用该技术对长期施肥条件下土壤有机氮官能团组成的研究尚未见报道.本试验利用N K-edge XANES方法,研究了长期(18年)不同施肥措施［即休闲(Fallow)、不施肥(CK)、施氮磷钾化肥(NPK)、有机肥配施化肥(NPKM)、1.5倍量的有机肥配施化肥(1.5NPKM)和玉米秸秆配施化肥(NPKS)］对黑土全土及粘粒中有机氮官能团的影响.结果表明:各处理均在401.2～401.6和402.7～403.1 eV范围内出现特征吸收峰,分别归属为酰胺/胺和吡咯类化合物,粘粒中特征吸收峰通常较全土更为明显.半定量分析结果指出,全土和粘粒均以酰胺/胺的相对比例最高,是有机氮官能团的主要存在形态;与休闲处理相比,对照处理中酰胺/胺的相对比例较低,而吡咯类氮的相对比例较高;有机无机配施条件下,酰胺/胺的相对比例随有机肥量的增加而下降,而吡咯类氮的相对比例则呈相反的变化趋势;全土中以NPKS处理的酰胺/胺相对比例最高,而粘粒中则以休闲处理的腈类/芳香氮相对比例最高.利用N K-edge XANES方法原位测定不同施肥措施下土壤有机氮官能团组成的变化是可行的。

Nitrogen(N) is a common limiting nutrient in crop production.The N content of soil has been used as an important soil fertility index.Organic N is the major form of N in soil.In most agricultural surface soils,more than 90% of total N occurs in organic forms.Therefore,understanding the compositional characteristics of soil organic N functional groups can provide the scientific basis for formulating the reasonable farmland management strategies.Synchrotron radiation soft X-ray absorption near-edge structure(N K-edge XANES) spectroscopy is the most powerful tool to characterize in situ organic N functional groups compositions in soil.However,to our most knowledge,no studies have been conducted to examine the organic N functional groups compositions of soil using N K-edge XANES spectroscopy under long-term fertilization practices.Based on a long-term field experiment(started in 1990) in a black soil(Gongzhuling,Northeast China),we investigated the differences in organic N functional groups compositions in bulk soil and clay-size soil fraction among fertilization patterns using synchrotron-based N K-edge XANES spectroscopy.Composite soil samples(0～20 cm) were collected in 2008.The present study included six treatments:farmland fallow(FALL),no-fertilization control(CK),chemical nitrogen,phosphorus,and potassium fertilization(NPK),NPK in combination with organic manure(NPKM),1.5 times of NPKM(1.5 NPKM),and NPK in combination with maize straw(NPKS).The results showed that N K-edge XANES spectra of all the treatments under study exhibited characteristic absorption peaks in the ranges of 401.2～401.6 and 402.7～403.1 eV,which were assigned as amides/amine-N and pyrrole-N,respectively.These characteristic absorption peaks were more obvious in clay-size soil fraction than in bulk soil.The results obtained from the semi-quantitative analysis of N K-edge XANES spectra indicated that the relative proportion of amides/amine-N was the highest in both bulk soil and clay-size soil fraction,and it was the most major forms in soil organic nitrogen functional groups.Compared with the FALL treatment,the relative proportion of amide/amine-N was lower whereas that of Pyrrole-N was higher in the CK treatment.In the treatments with combined chemical fertilizers and organic manure,the relative proportion of amide/amine-N decreased with increasing application rates of organic manure,while that of Pyrrole-N had an opposite trend.In bulk soil,the relative proportion of amide/amine-N was the highest for the NPKS treatment than for the other treatments.On the other hand,the relative proportion of nitrile/aromatic-N was the highest for the Fallow treatment than for the other treatments in clay-size soil fraction.It is feasible to use N K-edge XANES spectroscopy for characterizing in situ the changes of organic N functional groups in soil under different fertilization practices.
