Nitrogen and carbon transformation processes in soil in permanent grasslands - research in cattle overwintering area
 Šimek, Miloslav ; Hynšt, Jaroslav ; Čuhel, Jiří ; Elhottová, Dana ; Chroňáková, Alica ; Němcová, Anna ; Jirout, Jiří ; Krištůfek, Václav
Agricultural soils represent a significant source of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane). Pasture soils and especially overwintering areas receive large amounts of nutrients as animal excrements. Together with other effects, this creates good conditions for high rates of nitrogen and carbon transformations, and also for substantial losses in the form of gaseous metabolites. This paper informs on research of a specific model ecosystem – the cattle overwintering area. Research is focused either on the structure of soil microbial community and on its activities including the formation of gases in, and their emission from the soil to atmosphere.

Dynamics of N2O emissions after C and N amendments of soil at the cattle overwintering area
 Hynšt, Jaroslav ; Brůček, Petr ; Čuhel, Jiří ; Šimek, Miloslav
Field experiments were carried out at the cattle overwintering area in South Bohemia, Czech Republic, focused on the emissions of N2O after soil amendments with nitrate and glucose. Emissions were estimated using a permanent static chamber technique. Nitrate and glucose amendments caused very sharp increases of N2O fluxes, which however diminished after 2-3 days. Total amount of N2O escaping the soil was related to the amount of N and C added, and was calculated to 1-15 kg N.ha-1 (0.2-3% of N applied). Emissions were heterogeneous, which is shown by great differences among the individual chambers. Emissions were variable in time and very probably were controlled by temperature, as they approximately followed the air and surface soil temperature patterns. Despite the timing of amendment application, peaks of emissions were always determined 6 hours after the amendments.
