“…It concurs with published literature as a potential issue throughout Europe, including the northern and central case study MSs: the UK [46], Sweden [47], Poland [48], France [49], northern Spain [50,51] and Germany [52]. Italy [53,54] and Greece [55] in the south also report NO 3 ¡ leaching from cultivated land, a factor further influenced by irrigation during drier periods of the year [56].…”

Rural Development Program measures on cultivated land in Europe to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions – regional “hotspots” and priority measures

et al. 2016

Agriculture is a significant source of GHG emissions, contributing 10% of total emissions within the EU-28. Emissions from European agriculture have been reduced, albeit at the expense of crop yield and the risk of production displacement (the transfer of production, and associated emissions, to land outside of Europe). This article assesses the impact on GHG emissions of selected European Rural Development Program measures, representative of a diversity of management strategies implemented on cultivated land, within nine European Member States. Climatic zone and underlying spatial environmental variables were accounted for using a novel technique, "Regional Variation Categories," developed with European-scale GIS data sets. Production displacement is assessed with two benchmarks: (1) compared with existing crop production and (2) relative to a "minimum requirement" land management scenario, where an emissions reduction of less than this does not constitute mitigation. Most measures reduce emissions relative to the baseline crop scenario; however, many do not reduce emissions beyond the "minimum requirement," this being limited to measures such as catch crops and within-field grass areas to prevent soil erosion. The selection and targeting of measures to maximize agricultural GHG mitigation on cultivated land within Europe is discussed.

“…Determination of N contents in agricultural soils in spring is a useful tool to assess requirements for nitrogen fertilisation, whilst the distribution of NO 3 –N in soil in autumn evaluates possible nitrogen losses by leaching during winter [16]. It was also assumed that soil agricultural practices influence the activity of microorganisms which participate in various nitrogen transformation processes in soil [45].…”

“…The average content of mineral nitrogen in the Polish soils is in the range of 76–90 kg N/ha in spring and 89–97 kg N/ha in autumn [14, 15]. Dresler et al [16] found that application of N -fertiliser above 121 kg N/ha resulted in a significant increase in the NO 3 –N content in the surface soil layer. According to the Polish Statistical Office report [17], the use of mineral fertilisers in Lubelskie voivodeship amounted to 141.7 kg/ha, with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilisers accounting for 50, 20 and 38 %, respectively.…”

Metagenomic Analysis of Some Potential Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria in Arable Soils at Different Formation Processes

et al. 2016

The main goal of the study was to determine the diversity of the potential nitrogen-fixing (PNF) bacteria inhabiting agricultural (A) soils versus wastelands serving as controls (C). The soils were classified into three groups based on the formation process: autogenic soils (Albic Luvisols, Brunic Arenosols, Haplic Phaeozem) formed on loess material, hydrogenic soils (Mollic Gleysols, Eutric Fluvisol, Eutric Histosol) formed under the effect of stagnant water and lithogenic soils (Rendzina Leptosols) formed on limestone. In order to determine the preferable conditions for PNF bacteria, the relationships between the soil chemical features and bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were tested. Additionally, the nitrogen content and fertilisation requirement of the lithogenic (LG), autogenic (AG) and hydrogenic (HG) soils were discussed. The composition of the bacterial communities was analysed with the next-generation sequencing (NGS) by the Ion Torrent™ technology. The sequences were clustered into OTU based on a 99 % similarity threshold. The arable soils tested were distinctly dominated by β-Proteobacteria representatives of PNF bacteria belonging to the genus Burkholderia. Bacteria from the α-Proteobacteria class and Devosia genus were subdominants. A free-living Cyanobacteria population dominated in A rather than in C soils. We have found that both soil agricultural management and soil formation processes are the most conducive factors for PNF bacteria, as a majority of these microorganisms inhabit the AG group of soils, whilst the LG soils with the lowest abundance of PNF bacteria revealed the need for additional mineral fertilisation. Our studies have also indicated that there are close relationships between soil classification with respect to soil formation processes and PNF bacteria preference for occupation of soil niches.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00248-016-0837-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…According to Anggria et al [26], the share of N-NH 4 and N-NO 3 in N min depends on the type of organic matter, its application to soil, and microbiological activity, as well as the water and air content of soil. When analyzing agricultural soils in eastern Poland in 2004-06, Dresler et al [27] stated that N-NO 3 content in soils depends on the dosage of nitrogen and type of fertilizer (organic, mineral), the species of cultivated crop, atmospheric conditions, and the physico-chemical properties of the soil. The determined forms of nitrogen were used to calculate Pearson's simple correlation coefficients (Table 4).…”
