  • 摘要:漂浮水生维管束植物具有发达的通气组织,然而关于其传输水体中产生温室气体N2O方面的研究还很匮乏.本研究以漂浮水生植物凤眼莲为代表,利用稳定氮同位素示踪技术,设计能够分隔根室和叶室的水生植物生长系统,通过微宇宙实验定量追踪N-15标记的氮素在凤眼莲根系介导下的转化途径、N2O产生规律及N2O通过通气组织向空气的传输过程.研究结果表明,加入水体的15NO3-有少部分通过异化还原成为铵(DNRA)过程转化为NH4+-15N,主要通过反硝化反应生成N2O;加入的15NH4+主要发生了耦合硝化-反硝化反应.种植凤眼莲均使叶室中N2O-15N原子百分超和15N2O浓度明显高于无植物的对照,一方面说明凤眼莲根系能够促进反硝化、硝化-反硝化反应过程,同时也说明水体中的15N2O有相当一部分通过植株体传输到空气中.凤眼莲通气组织主要通过分子扩散从高浓度空间向低浓度空间输送15N2O.在标记NO3--15N的水体中,凤眼莲在前期促进了15N2O向顶空排放,但并未在整个生长期持续促进N2O释放.在标记NH4+-15N的水体中,植株体富集是NH4+-15N的一个主要归趋途径,但同时也有部分NH4+-15N转化为N2O通过植株通气组织持续、缓慢地释放到顶空当中.研究结果阐明了漂浮植物对水体氮转化过程及N2O输移途径的调节作用,可为全面理解水体生态系统氮循环过程提供理论基础.
  • Abstract:The aquatic vascular plants, including free-floating plants, have well-developed vascular tissues. However, little is known about the transportation of N2O, produced from the biological nitrogen transformation process in water, via the vascular tissues of the free-floating plants. In this study, water hyacinth was used as a representative for free-floating plant. In order to distinguish between two N2O diffusion sources (i.e. coming from water and from the vascular tissues), a plant growth system that can separate the root compartment from the aerial compartment was designed. The stable isotope N-15 tracing method was used to investigate the fate of N in water with or without growth of water hyacinth using microcosm experiments, including the transformation of N-15 in water, the production of 15N2O and the transfer of 15N2O via vascular tissues of water hyacinth. The results show that dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) process occurred in water with addition of 15NO3- although a large proportion of 15NO3- was transformed via denitrification. The coupled nitrification and denitrification was the major process for biological transformation of 15NH4+ in water. N-15 excess percentage of N2O and 15N2O concentrations in the headspace of aerial apartment from treatments with water hyacinth were significantly higher than those without water hyacinth, indicating that the roots could promote the denitrification of NO3--15N and nitrification/nitrification-denitrification of NH4+-15N to produce 15N2O. This could also illustrate that a large proportion of 15N2O produced in water would diffuse into air via the aerating tissues of water hyacinth. In water with NO3--15N, the growth of water hyacinth could only promote the 15N2O emission during the early stage of incubation, while relatively slow and continuous emission of 15N2O via the aerating tissues were observed in water with NH4+-15N during the whole experimental period. In addition, plant assimilation was one of the major fates of NH4+-15N in water. The results could help to elucidate the role of free-floating aquatic plants in mediating the production and transportation of gaseous nitrogen in eutrophic water, providing the theoretical basis for comprehensive understanding of nitrogen cycling process in aquatic ecosystem.
