Nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide efflux of cropland soil during fallow season

Cropland is sources of atmospheric nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). However, the contribution of the fallow season to emission of these gases has rarely been determined. In this study, a field experiment encompassing three treatments was conducted to determine efflux of $N_2O$ and $CO_2$ in cropland during fallow season. The treatments were hairy vetch (H.V.), rye and control (Con.). The H.V. and rye were sown in middle October and early November, respectively. The soil $N_2O$ efflux among all three treatments in the fallow season (November-April) were $0.014-2.956mg\;N_2O\;m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$. The cumulative $N_2O$ emissions were $104.4mg\;N_2O\;m^{-2}$ for Con., $85.8mg\;N_2O\;m^{-2}$ for H.V. and $85.0mg\;N_2O\;m^{-2}$ for Rye during the fallow season. The highest $N_2O$ emissions occurred in Con., while H.V. and Rye emissions were similar. Cumulative $CO_2$ emissions were $293.1g\;CO_2\;m^{-2}$ for Con., $242.2g\;CO_2\;m^{-2}$ for H.V., $275.2g\;CO_2\;m^{-2}$ for Rye during fallow season. This study showed that soil $N_2O$ and $CO_2$ average daily emission during fallow season were 28.3% and 27.4%, respectively of the growing season. Our results indicate that $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ emissions from agricultural systems continue throughout the fallow season.

휴경기간 녹비재배 농경지 토양에서 아산화질소 및 이산화탄소 배출특성

농경지는 농업부문에서 배출되는 온실가스인 아산화질소와 이산화탄소의 공급원이다. 하지만 대부분 농경지 온실가스 배출연구는 경작기에 집중되어 있고, 휴경기 동안 거의 수행되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 동절기 휴경 농경지 $N_2O$와 $CO_2$ 배출량과 주요 환경요인과의 유의확률 및 경작기 배출량과 비교하였다. 휴경기동안 녹비작물로써 H.V.와 Rye를 재배하였을 때, $N_2O$는 $0.014{\sim}2.956mg\;N_2O\;m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ 범위로 배출되었으며, 누적량은 대조구, H.V.처리구, Rye처리구에서 각각 104.4, 85.8 그리고 $85.0mg\;N_2O\;m^{-2}$ 배출되었다. 대조구에서 배출량이 가장 높았으며, H.V. 및 Rye 처리구는 비슷했다. 누적 이산화탄소 배출량은 대조구, H.V. 처리구, Rye 처리구에서 각각 293.1, 242.2 그리고 $275.2g\;CO_2\;m^{-2}$ 배출되었다. 그리고 휴경기간동안 $N_2O$ 및 $CO_2$ 일 평균배출량은 경작기의 각각 28.3%, 27.4% 배출되었다.
