Abstract:
A 7-day incubation experiment was conducted at 25℃ with 60% water holding capacity (WHC) to study the short-term effects of different fertilization treatments on the regularity of greenhouse gas emissions from northeast black soil. The results showed that application of chemical N fertilizer had no effect on CO2 emission, as compared with the non-fertilizer control treatment; however, a combined application of N fertilizer with pig manure or straw increased CO2 emissions by one magnitude compared to that of the chemical N fertilizer treatment, with the effect of chemical N fertilizer and straw being more prominent. Nitrification was the main process resulting in N2O emission for the non-fertilizer control and chemical N fertilizer treatments, and the application of chemical N fertilizer had no significant effect on N2O emission, as compared with the non-fertilizer control. The combined application of N fertilizer with pig manure or straw promoted the occurrence of denitrification and increased N2O emissions by two magnitudes compared to that of the chemical N fertilizer treatment, with the effect of chemical N fertilizer with straw being more remarkable. Compared with the non-fertilizer control, the application of chemical N fertilizer inhibited CH4 emissions and promoted the slightly absorption of CH4, while the combined application of chemical N fertilizer with pig manure or straw increased significantly the emission of CH4.

Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
