The United States plays an important role in addressing both food insecurity and climate change. Agriculture sits at the nexus of these two issues, which some have called “wicked problems” due to their pernicious effects and the complexity of their causes and their solutions (Rittel and Webber 1973). While public and policy discussion often concentrate on the role agriculture may play in contributing to climate change, it also has great potential for climate adaptation and mitigation. This is because some agriculture systems have the potential to adapt to climate change using selective management approaches, while also providing mitigation benefits (Shakoor et al. 2022). Through agriculture we have unique opportunities to help mitigate climate change in ways not possible in other industries or systems.
美国在解决粮食不安全和气候变化问题上发挥着重要作用。农业处于这两个问题的结合点,由于其有害的影响以及其原因和解决方案的复杂性,一些人称之为“邪恶的问题”(Rittel和Webber 1973)。虽然公共和政策讨论往往集中于农业在促进气候变化方面可能发挥的作用,但它在适应和减缓气候变化方面也具有巨大潜力。这是因为一些农业系统具有利用选择性管理方法适应气候变化的潜力,同时也提供减缓效益(Shakoor et al. 2022)。通过农业,我们有独特的机会以其他行业或系统无法实现的方式帮助减缓气候变化。

Nitrate (NO3−) losses from agricultural fields to groundwater and surface waterways are a major concern that could be further exacerbated by a changing climate. Although individual field-scale studies provide critical information, investigation on the interactive effect of various management practices across different soil types experiencing wide variations in precipitation is necessary to extend our understanding of what approaches may mitigate NO3− losses to the environment. Synthesizing and analyzing large data sets from multiple studies provides an opportunity to investigate the interactive impact of multiple management practices, soil texture, and rainfall. We assembled peer-reviewed field studies from the Midwest United States and analyzed their associated field data to (1) quantify the range of NO3− leaching associated with different agroecosystems and (2) determine the individual and interactive effect of management practices (tillage and amount of nitrogen [N] fertilizer added), cropping systems (crop type and rotation), and precipitation across multiple soil types on NO3− leaching. Our results showed that fertilized potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) had the highest NO3− leaching rate among all systems studied (59.3 ± 8.4 kg N ha−1 y−1) while unfertilized perennial systems exhibited the lowest NO3− leaching (6.1 ± 0.9 kg N ha−1 y−1). Our results suggested that corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) rotations can reduce NO3− leaching compared to continuous corn by 25% in clay soils and also reduce the impact of high rainfall on NO3− leaching compared to continuous corn management. Nitrate leaching in sandy soils exhibited a greater sensitivity and amplified response to increasing N fertilizer amount and annual precipitation compared to other soil types. Compared to conventional tillage, no-tillage soil management significantly reduced NO3− leaching in sandy and silty loam soils. While some management practices can curb NO3− leaching losses, more drastic land management change from row crops to perennial systems offered the most benefit. We conclude that a changing climate will make it more challenging for farmers to increase N use efficiency and reduce NO3− leaching, especially on coarse textured soils.
从农田到地下水和地表水的硝酸盐(NO3−)损失是一个主要问题,气候变化可能会进一步加剧这一问题。尽管个别的野外尺度研究提供了关键信息,但对于不同土壤类型的各种管理实践的交互效应进行调查是必要的,因为它们经历了降水的广泛变化,从而扩展了我们对哪些方法可以减轻NO3−对环境的损失的理解。综合和分析来自多个研究的大型数据集提供了一个机会来调查多种管理实践、土壤质地和降雨的相互影响。我们收集了来自美国中西部同行评审的实地研究,并分析了相关的实地数据,以(1)量化不同农业生态系统相关的NO3 -淋失范围;(2)确定管理措施(耕作方式和氮肥添加量)、种植制度(作物类型和轮作)和多种土壤类型的降水对NO3 -淋失的个体和交互影响。结果表明,施肥马铃薯(Solanum tuberosum L.)的NO3 -淋失率最高(59.3±8.4 kg N ha−1 y−1),而未施肥的多年生系统的NO3 -淋失率最低(6.1±0.9 kg N ha−1 y−1)。结果表明,玉米(Zea mays L.) -大豆(Glycine max [L.]与连续种植玉米相比,轮作可使粘土土壤中的NO3 -淋失减少25%,并且与连续种植玉米相比,还可减少高降雨量对NO3 -淋失的影响。与其他土壤类型相比,砂质土壤的硝态氮淋溶对施氮量和年降水量的增加表现出更大的敏感性和响应。与常规耕作相比,免耕土壤管理显著降低了砂质和粉质壤土的NO3−淋失。虽然一些管理措施可以抑制NO3−淋失,但从行栽作物到多年生作物的更剧烈的土地管理变化提供了最大的效益。我们的结论是,气候变化将使农民提高氮利用效率和减少NO3−淋失更具挑战性,特别是在粗糙质地的土壤上。

I first learned about the greenhouse gas effect in the 1970s as an undergraduate student. In graduate school in the 1980s, I learned more about the physics involved and began monitoring the status of the Keeling Curve with increasing concern. While the annual cycle that helps visualize the “breathing” of the global vegetation inspired me, the relentless upward trend in the curve alarmed me. Global climate change has been a motivator of my research ever since.
