この研究は、砂漠に生息する細菌がどのように、そしてなぜN2Oを排出しているのかを検証したもので、学術誌「Biogeochemistry」に掲載されました。これは、UCRの景観生態学者ダレル・ジェネレットが率いるチームが、砂漠の土壌が雨の後に相当量のN2Oを生成することを発見し、2020年に発表した研究を基にしたものである。

Abstract

Soil drying and wetting cycles can produce pulses of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions with substantial effects on both regional air quality and Earth’s climate. While pulsed production of N emissions is ubiquitous across ecosystems, the processes governing pulse magnitude and timing remain unclear. We studied the processes producing pulsed NO and N2O emissions at two contrasting drylands, desert and chaparral, where despite the hot and dry conditions known to limit biological processes, some of the highest NO and N2O flux rates have been measured. We measured N2O and NO emissions every 30 min for 24 h after wetting soils with isotopically-enriched nitrate and ammonium solutions to determine production pathways and their timing. Nitrate was reduced to N2O within 15 min of wetting, with emissions exceeding 1000 ng N–N2O m−2 s−1 and returning to background levels within four hours, but the pulse magnitude did not increase in proportion to the amount of ammonium or nitrate added. In contrast to N2O, NO was emitted over 24 h and increased in proportion to ammonium addition, exceeding 600 ng N–NO m−2 s−1 in desert and chaparral soils. Isotope tracers suggest that both ammonia oxidation and nitrate reduction produced NO. Taken together, our measurements demonstrate that nitrate can be reduced within minutes of wetting summer-dry desert soils to produce large N2O emission pulses and that multiple processes contribute to long-lasting NO emissions. These mechanisms represent substantial pathways of ecosystem N loss that also contribute to regional air quality and global climate dynamics.

Cumulative soil NO emissions (µg N–NO m−2) from the desert (ac) and chaparral (bd) over 24 h after wetting dry soils with nitrate (NO3ab) or ammonium (NH4+cd) solutions. Lines show the linear regression between added N and cumulative NO emissions. Shaded gray areas represent the 95% confidence interval for statistically significant linear regressions (p < 0.1)
