3 ALL OF THESE PROCESSES ARE MICROBIALLY MEDIATED Soil Nitrogen Cycle soil organic matter (low C:N; slowly decomposable) Litter input Litter input ASSIMILATION OF FIXED N MICROBIAL DEATH plant residues (high C:N; readily decomposable) microbial biomass N ASSIMILATORY IMMOBILIATION REDUCTION N 2 Denitrification N 2 AMMONIFICATION MINERALIZATION NH 4 + NO 3 - Nitrogen Fixation Exchangeable NH 4 + DIFFUSION NITRIFICATION DIFFUSION Fixed NH 4 + NO 3 -
4 How to Measure the Soil N Cycle Changes in plastic litter bags to measure N concentrations over time Changes in trenched plots with plants removed Changes in 15 NH 4 and 15 NO 3 (with and without inhibitors for specific processes) Other techniques: Acetylene reduction for nitrogen fixation Acetylene block for denitrification - specific inhibitor of N 2 0 N 2 (discussed later)
5 Nitrification Lower rates under these conditions: low O 2 low ph low soil moisture (can also be inhibited by too much water) high organic C:N Higher with high soil NH 4, but generally not responsive to other nutrients Usually higher after disturbances like fires
6 Emissions of N Gases From Soils Emitted gases include: Ammonia (NH 3 ) Nitric oxide (NO) Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) Dinitrogen (N 2 ) Emissions are important because they remove nitrogen available for uptake by plants N 2 O flux is also important because N 2 O is a greenhouse gas The return flux of N 2 gas to fixed nitrogen occurs but is a comparatively restricted process
7 Processes of Nitrogen Gas Emissions Rapid conversion of NH 4+ to NH 3 occurs at high ph and low soil moisture, and results in gas loss to the atmosphere: NH OH - NH 3 + H 2 O High organic waste loads (e.g., feedlots) promote NH 3 loss NO and N 2 O are byproducts (intermediates) of nitrification and denitrification

12 Atmospheric N Deposition An important source of nitrogen cycling in many systems Mostly in the form of acidic wet and dry deposition (HNO 3 ), originating from fossil fuel and plant combustion (NO x ) Some areas also have significant deposition of ammonium, largely originating from livestock organic waste
13 Inorganic Nitrogen Wet Deposition

15 The Nitrogen Cycle Component Input to soil Loss from soil Atmospheric fixation & deposition Animal manures & biosolids Crop harvest Atmospheric Nitrogen Volatilization Industrial fixation (commercial fertilizers) Biological fixation by legume plants Organic Nitrogen Plant residues Immobilization Mineralization Plant uptake Ammonium (NH 4+ ) Nitrate (NO 3- ) Denitrification Runoff and erosion Leaching
16 Importance of P Transformations The level of available P during soil development may be the primary determinant in terrestrial NPP: P is present in low concentrations in rocks N is abundant in the atmosphere Bacteria that fix N 2 gas to biologically available N require P Other essential plant nutrients (e.g., S, K, Ca, Mg) are more abundant than P
17 Phosphorus Cycling Unlike N, P cycling includes significant inorganic (mineral) reactions that make it much more difficult to study These reactions tend to interfere with the availability of P They also complicate the measurement of various forms of P Use sequential extractions to determine P-mineral binding Unlike N, gaseous P (phosphine, PH 3 ) is negligible in biogeochemical cycles and can be ignored Unlike N, P does not have multiple oxidation states (no redox reactions)
18 Phosphorus Pools 1) Organic matter P P in live plants and animals P in microbes P in dead organic matter 2) Soluble P (P in dissolved form) 3) Labile P (P readily released into solution) 4) P in minerals and occluded P (tightly adsorbed or absorbed) Igneous apatite (Ca 5 FP 3 O 12 ) Biological forms of apatite P co-precipitated with CaCO 3 Fe- and Al-bound P, etc.
19 Soil P Transformations Biota BIOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS Organic P Stable Organic P Soluble P Labile P Occluded P Primary P minerals GEOCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS A mineral that has not been altered chemically since deposition and crystallization from molten lava Leaching loss Secondary P minerals A mineral resulting from the decomposition of a primary mineral or from the precipitation of the products of decomposition Occluded P of a primary mineral
20 The Phosphorus Cycle Component Input to soil Loss from soil Animal manures & biosolids Plant residues Crop harvest Atmospheric deposition Mineral fertilizers Organic phosphorus Microbial Plant residue Humus Leaching (usually minor) Mineralization Immobilization Plant uptake Soil solution Phosphorus HPO 4-2 H 2 PO 4-1 Weathering Primary Minerals (apatite) Desorption Adsorption Dissolution Precipitation Runoff and erosion Mineral surfaces (clays, Fe and Al oxides, carbonates) Secondary compounds (CaP, FeP, MnP, AlP)
21 The Importance of Sulfur Cycling S, along with C, H, O, N, and P, is one of the major constituents of living tissue While essential to life, S is also relatively abundant It is therefore an essential plant nutrient, but not ordinarily a limiting plant nutrient Plants take up SO 4 2- by reduction and incorporation into amino acids S is released in many forms during decomposition
22 Sulfur Cycling The S cycle is analogous to the P cycle, with some important differences Like P, sulfur undergoes important geochemical, as well as biological, cycling Like N, and unlike P, sulfur occurs in multiple oxidation states SO 4 2- [sulfate] is abundant in seawater (28 mm) Like N and unlike P, sulfur has significant gas phases: H 2 S [hydrogen sulfide] Organic gases COS [carbonyl sulfide] (CH 3 ) 2 S [dimethylsulfide] A locally important S source is H 2 SO 4 [sulfuric acid] in acid rain
23 Sulfate Ion Wet Deposition
24
25 The Sulfur Cycle Component Input to soil Loss from soil Atmospheric deposition Atmospheric Sulfur SO 2 gas Crop harvest Volatilization Animal manures & biosolids Organic Sulfur Plant residues Absorbed or mineral sulfur Immobilization Mineralization Plant uptake Sulfate Sulfur (SO 4- ) Oxidation Bacterial oxidation Mineral fertilizers Elemental Sulfur Bacterial reduction Leaching Runoff and erosion Reduced Sulfur
26 The Potassium Cycle Component Input to soil Loss from soil Crop harvest Plant residues Animal manures & biosolids Mineral fertilizers Plant uptake Exchangeable potassium Runoff and erosion Leaching Soil solution potassium (K + ) Mineral potassium Fixed potassium
27 Lecture Summary Nitrogen cycling is biologically mediated among soil pools (organic N, NH 4, NO 3 ), with important shunts to gaseous forms Nitrogen fixation, the process that returns gaseous nitrogen back to being biologically available, is comparatively rare Unlike N, phosphorus is also involved in geochemical (mineral) reactions that may make P less available for biotic cycling Sulfur has important analogies with both N and P, including both biological and geochemical reactions, and gas-phase reactions
28 The next lecture (after a pause for a discussion of the Class Projects): Landscape mass balances, terrestrial nutrient cycling We will use what we ve learned so far to look at element fluxes at the landscape (ecosystem) scale This will be done by creating ecosystem mass balances, which are a powerful way of looking at ecosystem function in an integrated manner
