Effect of inorganic nitrogen on CH4 oxidation in soils

Abstract

Abstract: The effects of N inputs,including N fertilizer applications and atmospheric Ndepositions, on CH₄ oxidation by soils were determined by CH₄ oxidizing bacteria, N inputs and soil factors. These effects were inhibitory or stimulative, but inhibition was more popular than stimulation, and the inhibition of NH₄⁺ was more popular than that of NO₃^-. Wealthy experiments in different soils and climate regions are required to monitor and evaluate how N inputs influence CH₄ oxidation in soils. Generally, CH₄ oxidation in soils following N inputs showed multiple inhibition patterns, i.e., immediate or direct inhibition, delayed inhibition, and absence of inhibition. Some researchers explained the inhibition mechanism through using competition between CH₄ and NH₄⁺ for the same enzyme sites, elevated threshold, salt effect and ion exchange, and N turnover rate and N concentration. However, the inhibitory mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, inhibitory mechanism is one of the main research concerns in future.
