摘要
The emission of nitrous oxide (N(2)O) from the soil has a significant impact on the greenhouse gas balance of energy crops. The intensity of nitrogen fertilising affects the source strength of N(2)O emissions and methane oxidation, in the soil. These trace gas fluxes were measured using the flux chamber method in combination with gas chromatography. The mean annually accumulated emission of N(2)O-N was 1.1 kg N(2)O-N ha(-1) yr(-1) ranging from 0.4 to 5.2 kg N(2)O-N ha(-1) yr-1. Sandy soil fertilisation generally led to low N(2)O-N emissions, ranging from 0.2% to 0.7% of the applied nitrogen. Both, precipitation and temperature significantly influenced the total emission of N(2)O. The change from dry weather in 1999 to more humid weather in 2000 and 2001 resulted in enhanced N(2)O emissions. Enhanced N(2)O emission was also observed due to nitrogen fertilisation, soil cultivation processes and freeze-thaw cycles. Additionally, there were a few comparatively high local N(2)O emissions with peak values of 900 mug N(2)O-N m(-2) h(-1). Methane (CH(4)) uptake has a clear relationship with soil temperature, having minimum values during the winter and maximum values during the summer. Increasing precipitation significantly reduces the methane uptake by the soil. Non-fertilised plots showed a higher reduction in CH(4) uptake due to increasing precipitation than fertilised plots. In sandy soils the mean annually accumulated CH(4) uptake varied from 0.36 kg CH(4) ha(-1) yr(-1) (2001) to 0.68 kg CH(4)ha(-1)yr(-1) (1999). With regard to the greenhouse gas balance of energy crops, the low uptake of methane compensates for only 1% of the CO(2) equivalent of the N-fertiliser-induced N(2)O emissions.
