摘要: Degraded soil aggregation arising from nitrogen (N) fertilization has been reported in many studies; however, the mechanisms have not yet been clarified. Elucidating the impact of N fertilization on soil aggregation would help to improve soil structure and sustain high crop production. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of long-term N fertilization on soil aggregation and its association with binding and dispersing agents. A 12-year (2008-2019) N fertilization field experiment on a Vertisol was performed, covering a wide range of N application rates (0, 360, 450, 540, 630, and 720 kg ha(-1) year(-1)) and including straw management (straw return and straw removal) in a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-maize (Zea mays L.) cropping system. Soil samples of 0-20 cm depth were collected from 12 field treatments with 3 replications in 2019. Soil aggregate stability (mean weight diameter (MWD)) and contents of soil organic carbon (SOC), glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), and mineral N (NH4+ and NO3-) were determined. Long-term N fertilization under straw removal conditions reduced soil MWD by 12%-18% at N rates from 0 to 720 kg ha(-1) compared to that under straw return (P < 0.05). Soil MWD was positively associated with pH (P < 0.05) and MBC (P < 0.05), but negatively correlated with NH4+ (P < 0.05) and NO3- (P < 0.05). Compared with the straw removal treatment, the straw incorporation treatment significantly improved the contents of aggregating agents (SOC, GRSP, and MBC) (P < 0.001), but did not affect that of the dispersing agent (NH4+) (P > 0.05); consequently, it improved soil aggregation. Overall, our results indicate that long-term N fertilization may degrade soil aggregation because of the increases in monovalent ions (H+ and NH4+) and the decrease in MBC during soil acidification, especially when the applied N dose exceeded 360 kg ha(-1) year(-1). Our finding can minimize the negative structural impacts on Vertisol.
