Abstract:

Using a modified open-top chamber(OTC)method to simulate relative 60μL·L-1 CO2 concentration increment and 2℃ temperature rise scenario in early rice field to study their impacts on the plant total nitrogen, soil N concentration and yield in Hubei. The experimental design consisted of four treatments arranged in randomized blocks and three replicates. Treatments were as follows: (1)the control OTC(CK, ambient CO2 concentration and temperature), (2)elevated air temperature by 2℃(IT), (3)elevated CO2 concentration by 60μL·L-1(IC), (4)air temperature increase by 2℃ plus 60μL·L-1 CO2 concentration elevated(IT+IC). Surveyed the plant total nitrogen content, soil ammonium nitrogen, soil nitrate nitrogen, yield and yield components of early rice. The results showed that: (1)there was a significant increase on the plant total nitrogen content during the early growth periods (especially during tillering) when atmospheric temperature and CO2 concentration rose alone and the two of them rose synchronously, but there were no obvious differences after tillering, so did the soil ammonium nitrogen. (2)Elevated temperature had a significant decrease on nitrate nitrogen content during jointing, maturity stage, and it would increase heading stage’s, while it would have a positive effect on nitrate nitrogen during jointing, maturity stage, and have a negative impact on it when CO2 concentration elevated. (3)Compared to the control, there was a significant increase on early rice grain yield by 13.4% when CO2 concentration rose, while there were no differences when only temperature rose or CO2 concentration elevated alone.
