1 Nitrogen losses in agriculture: coupling the updated FAN ammonia model with CLM Julius Vira, Jeff Melkonian, Will Wieder, Peter Hess
2 FAN: Flow of Agricultural Nitrogen Reduced nitrogen (NH4+NH3) is subject to losses due to volatilization and leaching Atmospheric emissions of ammonia have an important role in aerosol formation Aiming to evaluate ammonia emissions consistently with CLM land use, nitrogen cycle and atmospheric forcing Riddick et al. (2016): FAN, this presentation: FAN2
3 Ammonia volatilization in agriculture Volatilized ammonia Manure in barns Stored manure Manure spread on crops and grasslands Livestock Livestock grazing on grasslands Nitrogen fluxes SOIL Synthetic fertilizers Fertilizer application
4 Agriculture processes in FAN2 Fertilizers Consider only urea Broadcast application Assumed to dissolve in the existing soil water Grazing animals Ammonicial nitrogen mostly within urine Volatilization affected by water content Infiltration assumed instant Manure application Consider only slurry Broadcast application Slow infiltration to soil Barns and storage Volatilization rates based on the empirical approach of Gyldenkærne et al. (2005) Representative of cattle in naturally ventilated barns and manure stored in lagoons
5 Flows of fertilizer and manure nitrogen NH3 emission Manure excreted in pastoral systems Manure excreted in mixed systems NH3 emitted from barns Manure excreted on pastures Manure excreted in barns NH3 emitted from stores Manure moved to stores Manure applied on grasslands N storage pool NH3 volatilized from manure and fertilizer in soil TAN pools natural vegetation column TAN pools agricultural columns Manure applied on crops Synthetic fertilizer from CLM crop model
6 Volatilization from soil Slurry, partly on soil surface Urine, fertilizer, fully infiltrated slurry Volatilization: chemical + Henry equilibrium, Prescribed ph Diffusion: Simultaneous gas and aqueous phase diffusion Diffusivity much higher in the slurry remaining on surface Percolation (leaching to soil) Due to precip and the water content in manure Diagnosed from the water budget Nitrification and runoff evaluated as in Riddick et al. (2016)
7 Upscaling the volatilization model Manure or fertilizer is not applied evenly over a soil column, but in spots Each spot is ongoing volatilization but in varying stages with different ph, and water content NH3 concentration Assumption: state of each sub-patch is determined by current time and time since volatilization started Time since volatilization started
8 Upscaling the volatilization model 1 Manure or fertilizer is not applied evenly over a soil column, but in spots Each spot is ongoing volatilization but in varying stages with different ph, and water content 2 3 NH3 concentration 3 2 Assumption: state of each sub-patch is determined by current time and time since volatilization started 1 Time since volatilization started
9 FAN2 Soil nitrogen pools TAN transferred from pool to pool as the patches become older Volatilization evaluated from each pool TAN produced from decomposing manure organic matter input to S2 and P2 Slurry S0: partly infiltrated slurry Partly on surface Higher evaporation rate Higher volatilization rate S1: fresh slurry ph = 8.0 Water content relaxing towards background S2: aged slurry ph = 8.0 Water content and fluxes as in background soil Pasture No surface pooling for urine and fertilizers P1: fresh urine patches Similar processes as in S1 ph = 8.5 P2: aged urine + fecal matter ph = 8 Otherwise as S2 Fertilizer F1: freshly fertilized ph = 8.5 No perturbation to soil water F2: aged fertilizer Same features as P2 For accounting only
10 Comparison to field observations Compare with 15 field experiments CLM point simulation at each location with the CRUNCEP* forcing Pasture, slurry, fertilizer, poultry litter *In-situ observed precipitation used when available
11 More on slurry: effect of infiltration rate Adjust infiltration rate linearly with slurry DM content Infiltration times between 1 and 24 h Assume constant infiltration time of 12 h
12 Response to temperature and moisture
13 First FAN2 simulations: NH3 emissions, gn m -2 yr -1 Manure application Pastures Fertilizer use Housings & manure stores
14 Future In near future, couple FAN2 with CAM to evaluate the impacts on atmospheric composition using observations of NH3 and NH4 in rainwater and air Coupling with terrestrial nitrogen cycle in CLM should be developed further Further developments for the process model Fertilizers other than urea Agricultural practices not currently covered, e.g. paddy rice
