Effect of crop-specific field management and N fertilization on N2O emissions from a fine-loamy soil
Abstract
Agricultural soils are a major source of atmospheric N2O. This study was conducted to determine the effect of different crop-specific field management and N fertilization rates on N2O emissions from a fine-loamy Dystric Eutrochrept. Fluxes of N2O were measured for two years at least once a week on plots cropped with potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) fertilized with 50 or 150 kg N ha(-1) a(-1), winterwheat (Triticum aestivum) fertilized with 90 or 180 kg N ha(-1) a(-1), corn (Zea mays) fertilized with 65 or 130 kg N ha(-1) a(-1), and on an unfertilized, set-aside soil planted with grass (mainly Lolium perenne and Festuca rubra). The mean N2O emission rate from the differently managed plots was closely correlated to the mean soil nitrate content in the Ap horizon for the cropping period (April to October, r(2) = 0.74), the winter period (November to March, r(2) = 0.93, one outlier excluded), and the whole year (r(2) = 0.81). N2O emissions outside the cropping period accounted for up to 58% of the annual emissions and were strongly affected by frost-thaw cycles. There was only a slight relationship between the amount of fertilizer N applied and the annual N2O emission (r(2) = 0.20). The mean annual N2O-N emission from the unfertilized set-aside soil was 0.29 kg ha(-1) The annual N2O-N emission from the fertilized crops for the low and the recommended rates of N fertilization were 1.34 and 2.41 kg ha(-1) for corn, 2.70 and 3.64 kg ha(- 1) for wheat, and 5.74 and 6.93 kg ha(-1) for pot…

“These processes are controlled by soil management, such as fertilization and tillage, and abiotic factors such as climate, frost and thaw frequency, soil porosity, moisture content, pH and organic C availability (e.g., Skiba & Smith, 2000;Ruser et al., 2001;Jungkunst et al., 2006;Stehfest & Bouwman, 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
