Abstract

Greenhouse-gas emission factors are widely used to estimate emissions arising from a defined unit of a specific activity. Such estimates are used both for international reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and for a myriad of national and subnational reporting purposes. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a methodology for national and sub-national estimation of known greenhouse gas emissions including $N_2O$ for each sector from which the emissions arise. The objective of this study was to develop an emission factor to estimate the direct $N_2O$ emission from an agricultural field cultivated with Chinese cabbage during spring season in 2010-2012. An estimated emission factor of $N_2O$ calculated over three years from field experiment accounting for cumulative $N_2O$ emission, nitrogen fertilization rate, and background $N_2O$ emission was $0.0056{\pm}0.00254$ (95% CI) Kg $N_2O-N/kg$ N. More extensive studies are needed to develop $N_2O$ emission factors for other upland crops in various regions of Korea because $N_2O$ emission is influenced by many factors including climate characteristics, soil properties agricultural practices and crop species.

우리나라 밭토양에서 국가고유의 온실가스 배출계수를 개발하기 위하여 2010년부터 2012년까지 봄 배추를 대상으로 재배기간 동안에 $N_2O$를 포집분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 봄 배추 밭에서의 $N_2O$ 배출량은 정식 후 생육초기인 1개월 정도까지 높게 유지되다가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 생육초기에 수원지역의 $N_2O$ 배출량이 춘천지역보다 높았는데, 이는 수원의 강수량이 상대적으로 높은데 기인한다고 볼수 있다. 질소비료 시용량이 많을수록 $N_2O$ 배출량이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 회귀분석한 결과를 보면 99.8%의 상관성이 보였다. 본 연구에서 3년 동안의 봄 배추 재배기간 중 $N_2O$ 배출량을 분석하여 산정한 국가고유 $N_2O$ 배출계수는 0.0056kg Kg $N_2O-N/kg$ N이였다. 이러한 연구결과는 국가고유 $N_2O$ 배출계수를 등록과 더불어 국가 온실가스 배출량 산정에 적용하여 국가 및 지자체의 온실가스 배출량 감축에도 기여할 것이다.
