[Dynamic simulation of ammonia- and nitrate N leakage from paddy field under different N supply]

By using self-designed lysimeters, the dynamic changes of ammonia- and nitrate N leakage from the plowpan of paddy field under different N supply were studied, aimed to understand the N leakage loss from paddy field during rice growth period. A dynamic model was built to simulate the N translocation and transformation in rice plant, soil, and water by Vensim software. The data from the field experiment with N fertilization rates of 0, 75, 150, 225, 300, and 375 kg x hm(-2) in Yuhang district, Hangzhou City in 2003 were used for calibrating the model, and the data from the field experiment in 2007 were utilized for validating the model. The simulated N concentrations in the leakage fitted well with the observed data, suggesting that the simulated results were reliable and the model was applicable.
