Gaseous losses of fertilizer nitrogen from a citrus orchard in the red soil hilly region of Southeast China

Abstract: The gaseous losses of fertilizer nitrogen (N) applied to agroecosystems are a major contributor to a host of environmental problems, inefficient production systems, and decreased N-use efficiency. These losses lead to the wastage of resources, increasing the greenhouse effect and harming human health. The red soil hilly region of Southeast China houses the biggest orchard area of the world, and nitrogen fertilizers are usually heavily applied to the orchard systems in China. Therefore, this study aimed to meas… Show more

“…In addition, CO 2 carbon flux for each treatment was largest in July and lowest in December. This could be due to soil microbial activity; the findings were similar to previous studies [50][51][52]. The long-term, large amount of chemical fertilizer especially nitrogen fertilizer is a main cause of soil N leaching [53].…”

“…All fertilizers were applied by surface broadcasting. [34]. A 15 cm diameter PVC cylinder was placed in the field and contained two pieces of phosphoglycerol-soaked sponges (diameter 15 cm); the bottom one collected NH 3 from the soil, the upper one absorbed ambient NH 3 and prevented it from entering the inside of chamber.…”

“…Author(s) agree that this article remain permanently open access under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 International License study area to boost soil nutrient status every cropping season. Unguided chemical fertilizer usage leads to nutrient losses through volatilization (Jadon et al, 2018;Ding et al, 2017), sorption (Asomaning et al, 2018;Oyeyiola and Omueti, 2010) and leaching processes (Xia et al, 2020;Islam et al, 2014). Studies on nutrient leachate losses on these sandy soils are not available despite nutrient leaching potential indicated by high torrential rainfall of about 1800 mm received annually in the study area (Ogunbode and Ifabiyi, 2019).…”
