概括
耕种的牧场比本土牧场捕获更多的二氧化碳 (CO2),但本土牧场在极端天气条件下提供更大的稳定性. 这两种系统都有助于减轻温室气体排放.
科学领域:
- 生态生态学 生态生态学
- 气候科学 气候科学
- 农业科学 农业科学
背景情况:
- 牧场覆盖了地球表面的四分之一,提供了重要的生态系统服务,如碳捕获.
- 佛罗里达州的牧场面积约为200万公,对该州的畜牧业至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 评估美国东南部两个不同的牛肉生产系统的生态系统净碳交换 (二氧化碳和甲).
- 为了在不同气候条件下比较原生牧场和耕种牧场之间的碳捕获和温室气体减排潜力.
主要方法:
- 一项为期三年的研究,测量了本土牧场和耕放牧场的生态系统净生产率 (NEP) 和总碳平衡.
- 包括各种气候事件,包括干旱和风,以评估系统的弹性.
主要成果:
- 与本地牧场 (-1.75 Mg C ha-1 yr-1) 相比,耕种牧场的年度碳吸收显著更高 (NEP平均值为 -4.91 Mg C ha-1 yr-1).
- 尽管牧场的甲排放量较高,但二氧化碳吸收量较大导致了更有利的整体碳平衡 (-6.26 Mg C-CO2eqv ha−1 vs. -3.55 Mg C-CO2eqv ha−1).

Overview of Nitrogen Metabolism
10.9K
Nitrogen is a very important element for life because it is a major constituent of proteins and nucleic acids. It is a macronutrient, and in nature, it is recycled from organic compounds and stored in the form of ammonia, ammonium ions, nitrate, nitrite, or nitrogen gas by many metabolic processes. Many of these metabolic processes are carried out only by prokaryotes.

Primary Production
25.0K
The total amount of energy acquired by primary producers in an ecosystem is called gross primary production (GPP). However, of this energy, producers use some for metabolic processes, and some is lost as heat, decreasing the amount of energy available to the next trophic level. The remaining usable amount of energy is called the net primary productivity (NPP). In terrestrial ecosystems, NPP is driven by climate, while light penetration and nutrient availability drive NPP in aquatic ecosystems.

Production Efficiency
18.1K
Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

Inorganic Nitrogen Assimilation
436
Nitrogen is an essential element in biological systems, forming a crucial component of proteins, nucleic acids, and other cellular constituents. Many bacteria and archaea acquire nitrogen in the form of nitrate (NO₃⁻) or ammonia (NH₃), which are then assimilated into biomolecules through specific enzymatic pathways.Assimilatory Nitrate ReductionWhen nitrate enters the cell, it undergoes a two-step reduction process known as assimilatory nitrate reduction. Initially, the enzyme...
