As one of the nitrogen (N) limitation ecosystems, alpine meadows have significant effects on their structure and function. However, research on the response and linkage of vegetation-soil to short-term low-level N deposition with rhizosphere processes is scant. We conducted a four level N addition (0, 20, 40, and 80 kg N ha−1 y−1) field experiment in an alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) from July 2014 to August 2016. We analyzed the community characteristics, vegetation (shoots and roots), total carbon (TC), nutrients, soil (rhizosphere and bulk) properties, and the linkage between vegetation and soil under different N addition rates. Our results showed that (i) N addition significantly increased and decreased the concentration of soil nitrate nitrogen (NO3−-N) and ammonium nitrogen, and the soil pH, respectively; (ii) there were significant correlations between soil (rhizosphere and bulk) NO3−-N and total nitrogen (TN), and root TN, and there was no strong correlation between plant and soil TC, TN and total phosphorus, and their stoichiometry under different N addition rates. The results suggest that short-term low-N addition affected the plant community, vegetation, and soil TC, TN, TP, and their stoichiometry insignificantly, and that the correlation between plant and soil TC, TN, and TP, and their stoichiometry were insignificant.

Abstract The activated sludge process suffers from rapid load changes of ammonium (NH4), which may result in process failure during wastewater treatment. In this study, the response of activated sludge properties in terms of microfauna composition and sludge volume index (SVI5 and SVI30) on short-term increase of NH4 concentration (from 55 mg/l to 105 mg/l) was evaluated in batch scale reactors over 72 h. The results show that the first-step nitrification (NH4 transformation to nitrite (NO2)) was inhibited after 24 h, whereas the second-step nitrification (NO2 transformation to nitrate (NO3)) was not significantly affected. Sludge volume indices (sedimentation ability characteristics) SVI5 and SVI30 in the reactor with NH4–N shock concentration increased, whereas microfauna diversity decreased (Shannon-Weaver index decreased from 2.12 at 48 h to 1.23 at 72 h) leading to dominance of stalked ciliate Epistylis sp. Notable changes in inorganic carbon concentration (IC) were observed, indicating that rapid decrease of IC concentration leads to nitrification inhibition and challenges the overall process recovery. To conclude, short-term exposure of about two times higher concentration of NH4 caused significant changes in activated sludge properties by inhibiting NH4-oxidizing bacteria, reducing sludge microfauna diversity and deteriorating sludge sedimentation ability.

Short-term flooding (few days to several weeks) of usually well-drained soils — often occurring after snowmelt in spring and after heavy precipitation in summer — is a natural event in many regions of the world. Using incubation-leaching and gas sampling techniques in the laboratory, we examined the impact of flooding on the loss of carbon and leaching of nitrogen from five undisturbed soil columns. The soils varied in management, salinity and carbon content. After 8 wk of incubation, the amounts of soluble organic carbon leached by 0.001 M CaCl2 solution from flooded soils ranged from 153 to 630 mg C kg−1. In contrast, only 28–107 mg C kg−1 was leached from nonflooded soils. The amounts of soluble organic nitrogen leached from the flooded soils ranged from 10 to 30 mg N kg−1 compared with 5.9–12 mg N kg−1 from nonflooded soils. In the flooded soils, ammonium nitrogen dominated the total inorganic nitrogen leached (99.5–99.9%) whereas in nonflooded soils leachable N was mainly nitrate and nitrite (97.4–99.9%). Methane was emitted from the flooded soils (10–138 mg C kg−1 over 8 wk). The rate of carbon dioxide evolution in flooded soils increased linearly with time and total evolution ranged from 72 to 552 mg C kg−1, whereas CO2 evolution in the nonflooded soils was steady with total evolution ranging from 159 to 1279 mg C kg−1 after 8 wk. Key words: Prairie and forest soils, short-term flooding, C and N losses, methane emission
