Zusammenfassung |
Increases in observed atmospheric concentrations of the long-lived
greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) have been well documented.
However, information on event-related instantaneous emissions during
fertilizer applications is lacking. With the development of fast-response
N2O analyzers, the eddy covariance (EC) technique can be used to gather
instantaneous measurements of N2O concentrations to quantify the
exchange of nitrogen between the soil and atmosphere. The objectives of this
study were to evaluate the performance of a new EC system, to measure the
N2O flux with the system, and finally to examine relationships of the
N2O flux with soil temperature, soil moisture, precipitation, and
fertilization events. An EC system was assembled with a sonic anemometer and
a fast-response N2O analyzer (quantum cascade laser spectrometer) and
applied in a cornfield in Nolensville, Tennessee during the 2012 corn
growing season (4 April–8 August). Fertilizer amounts totaling 217 kg N ha−1 were applied to the experimental site. Results showed that this
N2O EC system provided reliable N2O flux measurements. The
cumulative emitted N2O amount for the entire growing season was 6.87 kg N2O-N ha−1. Seasonal fluxes were highly dependent on soil moisture
rather than soil temperature. This study was one of the few experiments that
continuously measured instantaneous, high-frequency N2O emissions in
crop fields over a growing season of more than 100 days. |
