To test the effects of elevated CO2 and soil N deficiency on N resorption efficiency (NRE) from senescing leaves in two non-N2-fixing deciduous broadleaved tree species, Japanese oak (Quercus mongolica var. grosseserrata Blume) and Painted maple (Acer mono Maxim. var. glabrum (Lév. Et Van’t.) Hara), potted seedlings were grown in a natural daylight phytotron with either ambient or elevated CO2 conditions (36 Pa and 72 Pa CO2) and with two levels of N (52.5 and 5.25 mg N pot−1 week−1 for high N and low N, respectively). We examined the N content (Nmass) of mature and senescent leaves, as well as photosynthesis and the growth of plants, and calculated both the mass-based NRE (NREmass) and leaf area-based NRE (NREarea). In both species, the Nmass of mature leaves decreased with high CO2 and low N, whereas the leaf mass per area (LMA) increased under elevated CO2, regardless of N treatments. In Q. mongolica, both the maximum rate of carboxylation (Vcmax) and the maximum electron transport rate (Jmax) were reduced by elevated CO2 and low N, but Vcmax exhibited an interactive effect of N and CO2 treatments. However, in A. mono, both the Vcmax and Jmax decreased under elevated CO2, regardless of N treatments. The partitioning of N for the photosynthetic function within leaves was also significantly decreased by elevated CO2 in both species and increased under low N in A. mono. The Nmass of senesced leaves decreased under low N in both species and exhibited an increase (Q. mongolica) or no effect (A. mono) by elevated CO2. The NREarea of Q. mongolica was affected by CO2 and N treatments, with a decrease under elevated CO2 compared to ambient CO2 and under low N compared to high N. The NREarea of A. mono was also affected by CO2 and N treatments and decreased under elevated CO2; however, unlike in the case of Q. mongolica, it increased under low N. We speculate that these interspecific differences in the responses of leaf N allocation, indicated by the photosynthetic (Vcmax and Jmax) and morphological (LMA) responses to elevated CO2, may have affected the NRE during defoliation under high CO2 and soil N-deficient conditions.

Soil N Cycle

Abstract. The study of soil N cycling processes has been, is, and will be at the centre of attention in soil science research. The importance of N as a nutrient for all biota; the ever-increasing rates of its anthropogenic input in terrestrial (agro)ecosystems; its resultant losses to the environment; and the complexity of the biological, physical, and chemical factors that regulate N cycling processes all contribute to the necessity of further understanding, measuring, and altering the soil N cycle. Here, we review important insights with respect to the soil N cycle that have been made over the last decade, and present a personal view on the key challenges of future research. We identify three key challenges with respect to basic N cycling processes producing gaseous emissions: 1. quantifying the importance of nitrifier denitrification and its main controlling factors; 2. characterizing the greenhouse gas mitigation potential and microbiological basis for N2O consumption; 3. characterizing hotspots and hot moments of denitrification Furthermore, we identified a key challenge with respect to modelling: 1. disentangling gross N transformation rates using advanced 15N / 18O tracing models Finally, we propose four key challenges related to how ecological interactions control N cycling processes: 1. linking functional diversity of soil fauna to N cycling processes beyond mineralization; 2. determining the functional relationship between root traits and soil N cycling; 3. characterizing the control that different types of mycorrhizal symbioses exert on N cycling; 4. quantifying the contribution of non-symbiotic pathways to total N fixation fluxes in natural systems We postulate that addressing these challenges will constitute a comprehensive research agenda with respect to the N cycle for the next decade. Such an agenda would help us to meet future challenges on food and energy security, biodiversity conservation, water and air quality, and climate stability.

Rapid methods based on untargeted analysis technique such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy can provide much faster and easier solution for food authentication. However, studies on the metabolite content in UKMR-2 calyces using FT-IR spectroscopy has not been reported yet in any previous studies. Thus, the present study was performed to analyze the differences in metabolite content in UKMR-2 calyces under the influences of different [CO2] treatment by applying tri-step infrared based fingerprinting. The UKMR-2 plant cultivation was exposed to ambient [CO2] (400 µmol/mol) and elevated [CO2] (800 µmol/mol) treatment. The UKMR-2 calyx extracts were analysed by conventional infrared (1D-IR), second derivative infrared (SD-IR) and two-dimensional correlation infrared (2D-IR) spectroscopy. The 1D-IR spectrum results revealed a similar absorption spectrum in the range of 1900 - 650 cm-1, which suggest similar major metabolites content present in both extracts. For SD-IR spectrum, both treatments clearly showed have more peaks with different shape, position and intensity in the range of 1650 - 1450 cm-1 and 1200 - 950 cm-1, which is likely to have different flavonoid and carbohydrate content in UKMR-2 calyces. The 2D-IR synchronous correlation spectrum in the range of 1000 – 650 cm-1 clearly distinguished the metabolite content in the UKMR-2 calyx extract from different [CO2] treatment. Therefore, this tri-step infrared based fingerprinting has the potential as one of the effective methods to discriminate extract samples with similar infrared fingerprint features and indicate that the metabolite content in UKMR-2 calyces were influenced by different [CO2] treatments.

Nitrogen Conditions

The response of Quercus mongolica, one of the major tree species in Northeast Asia and the most dominant deciduous tree in Korea, was studied in relation to elevated CO2 and the addition of nitrogen to soil in terms of its physiology and growth over two years. Plants were grown from seed at two CO2 conditions (ambient and 700 µL L-1) and with two levels of soil nitrogen supply (1.5 mM and 6.5 mM). Elevated CO2 was found to significantly enhance the photosynthesis rate and water use efficiency by 2.3-2.7 times and by 1.3-1.8 times, respectively. Over time within a growing season, there was a decreasing trend in the photosynthesis rate. However, the decrease was slower especially in two-year-old seedlings grown in elevated CO2 and high nitrogen conditions, suggesting that their physiological activity lasted relatively longer. Improved photosynthesis and water use efficiency as well as prolonged physiological activity under high CO2 condition resulted in an increase in biomass accumulation. That is, in elevated CO2, total biomass increased by 1.7 and 1.2 times, respectively, for one- and two-year-old seedlings with low nitrogen conditions, and by 1.8 and 2.6 times with high nitrogen conditions. This result indicates that the effect of CO2 on biomass is more marked in high nitrogen conditions. This, therefore, shows that the effect of CO2 is accelerated by the addition of nitrogen. With the increase in total biomass, the number of leaves and stem diameter increased significantly, and more biomass was allocated in roots, resulting in structural change. Overall, the elevated CO2 markedly stimulated the physiology and growth of Q. mongolica. This demonstrates that Q. mongolica is capable of exploiting an elevated CO2 environment. Therefore, it will remain a dominant species and continue to be a major CO2 sink in the future, even though other resources such as nitrogen can modify the CO2 effect.
