“…1). The minor efficiency of the nitrification inhibitor with organic fertilisers relative to mineral fertilisers is in agreement with previous studies (Vallejo et al, 2006;Pereira et al, 2010) and may be explained by some nitrification of the NH 4 + derived from organic N in microsites not penetrated by nitrification inhibitor. Besides, the C content of organic fertilisers may cause denitrification to be an important process in these treatments (LF, LF-DMPP), so that the efficiency of DMPP could have been reduced.…”

“…In our study, the application of DMPP with Mineral induced a decrease of 18 and 29% in NO and N 2 O emissions whereas addition of DMPP in LF led to reductions (numerically but not statistically) of 20% in NO and 10% in N 2 O (Table 1). Differences in terms of DMPP effectiveness for reducing NO and N 2 O emissions when combined with Mineral or LF have been reported in other studies (Menén-dez et al, 2006;Vallejo et al, 2006) and could be related with the initial NH 4 + concentrations, N release by mineralisation and mainly with soluble carbon addition in LF treatments. Our results agree with data reported by Menéndez et al (2006) who found a decrease of 25 and 29% and in NO and N 2 O emissions with the application of DMPP to untreated cattle LF to a grassland.…”

“…However, DMPP application to LF was rarely considered even if LF might represent a high risk of NO 3 -leaching due to its high NH 4 + content. Furthermore, previous studies indicate that DMPP might also affect N 2 O emissions but did not consider the NO emissions that can reach significant values after application of mineral and organic fertilisers to soils (Menéndez et al, 2006;Vallejo et al, 2006;Pereira et al, 2010).…”

The application of organic and mineral fertilisers to soil can result in increased gaseous emissions to the atmosphere such as nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) gases. The aim of this study was to evaluate under laboratory conditions the effects on mineral N dynamics and NO and N 2 O emissions of application to soil of cattle slurry derived liquid fraction (LF) obtained by screw press and mineral fertiliser (MF), both treated with or without the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP). An aerobic laboratory incubation was performed over 93 days with a Dystric Cambisol amended with mechanically separated LF or mineral fertiliser ammonium sulphate only or combined with DMPP. Two additional treatments were included: soil only and soil amended with DMPP. Nitrogen immobilisation was the dominant process with MF amendment, whereas N mineralisation has been observed with LF. The application of LF reduced significantly NO emissions by 80% relative to mineral but no differences were observed with N 2 O emissions. The addition of DMPP to MF induced a decrease of 18 and 29% in NO and N 2 O emissions whereas DMPP combined with LF reduced (numerically but not statistically) these emissions in 20 and 10%, respectively. Results obtained in our study suggest that N (NO + N 2 O) losses can be mitigated by adding DMPP to mineral fertilisers or replacing mineral fertiliser by LF.Additional key words: carbon dioxide; DMPP; N emissions; N mineralisation; solid-liquid separation.

“…Incorporation of organic matter or mineral N fertilizers produce higher fertility in these soils but at the same time can increase microbial emissions of N2O, NO and CO2 (Peoples et al 1995;Dick et al 2001). Some studies support the idea that in soils with low organic C under semi-arid conditions organic fertilizer can mitigate N 2 0 emissions compared to mineral fertilizers under conditions favouring denitrification (Vallejo et al 2006;Meijide et al 2007). These authors suggested that the incorporation of labile C compounds reduced N 2 0/ N2 ratio and consequently N2O emissions.…”

Residual effect of organic carbon as a tool for mitigating nitrogen oxides emissions in semi-arid climate

et al. 2009

Residual effects of different fertilizers (mineral and organic) on the first pulses of carbon dioxide (C0 2 ), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrous oxide (N 2 0) after rewetting dry soil with or without application of a mineral N fertilizer were studied in a laboratory experiment. Six months before this study was conducted the fields had received either manure + urea, manure, urea or no fertilizer. In the first phase the soil was rewetted with water simulating a summer shower (heavy rainfall in short time) and in the second phase with a urea solution simulating a mineral fertilization. There were not significant differences in trace gas emissions between earlier field treatments after soil was rewetted with water addition. However, after urea addition, plots that had received manure 6 months earlier showed smaller total emissions of N 2 0 and NO compared to plots that had only received urea. The residual effect of manure can play an important role in carbon poor soils under arid-semiarid climate in mitigating atmospheric pollutants such us NO and N 2 0.

“…For example, the emission factor from pig slurry (7 -14%) was larger than from cattle slurry (2 -3%) [32]. This was a result of the larger content of ammoniacal N in the [33] have shown that N 2 O emissions from a clay loam soil cropped with potatoes were significantly smaller (by 23%) when fertilized with pig manure than with urea. However, Schils et al [34] reported no conclusive differences when applications of cattle slurry with and without calcium nitrate to grasslands on sandy soils were compared.…”

Signatories of the Kyoto Protocol are obliged to submit annual accounts of their anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which include nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Emissions from the sectors industry (3.8 Gg), energy (14.4 Gg), agriculture (86.8 Gg), wastewater (4.4 Gg), land use, land-use change and forestry (2.1 Gg) can be calculated by multiplying activity data (i.e. amount of fertilizer applied, animal numbers) with simple emission factors (Tier 1 approach), which are generally applied across wide geographical regions. The agricultural sector is the largest anthropogenic source of N 2 O in many countries and responsible for 75 per cent of UK N 2 O emissions. Microbial N 2 O production in nitrogen-fertilized soils (27.6 Gg), nitrogen-enriched waters (24.2 Gg) and manure storage systems (6.4 Gg) dominate agricultural emission budgets. For the agricultural sector, the Tier 1 emission factor approach is too simplistic to reflect local variations in climate, ecosystems and management, and is unable to take into account some of the mitigation strategies applied. This paper reviews deviations of observed emissions from those calculated using the simple emission factor approach for all anthropogenic sectors, briefly discusses the need to adopt specific emission factors that reflect regional variability in climate, soil type and management, and explains how bottom-up emission inventories can be verified by top-down modelling.
