Abstract:
      Using vetch and ryegrass residues as green manures, two 63 d incubation experiments were conducted to test the impacts of green manure application rate (0, 1, 2, 4, 6 t·hm-2) and the residual mix ratio (100% vetch, 75% vetch + 25% ryegrass, 50% vetch + 50% ryegrass, 25% vetch + 75% ryegrass, and 100% ryegrass at a rate of 4 t·hm-2) on soil CO2, N2O, and CH4 emissions. Soil green gas emissions were measured using a gas chromatography. The results indicate that: (1) Compared to the control without green manure, application of green manure significantly increased the accumulative emissions of CO2 and N2O and global warming potential (GWP) by 11.3%~80.2%, 15.8%~51.1%, and 11.9%~79.4%(P<0.05), respectively. Soil CO2 and GWP increased, but CH4 uptake decreased linearly with the increase of application rates. However, soil N2O emission varied in a polynomial way with the increase of application rates and peaked at the rate of around 3 t·hm-2. At the same rate, application of ryegrass residue had a greater CO2 emission and CH4 uptake, while a lower N2O emission than that of vetch residue; (2) Soil greenhouse gas emissions were also correlated with the proportion of ryegrass residues in the mixture with vetch residues. Soil CO2 emission and GWP increased by 5.8%~19.7% (P<0.05) and 5.3%~17.7% (P<0.05), while N2O emission and CH4 uptake decreased with the increases of ryegrass residues in the mixture by 11.2%~41.5% (P<0.05) and 13.4%~50.9% (P<0.05). Overall, selecting green manure residues with a lower proportion of non-leguminous crops and returning them to the field with lower biomass could achieve ecological benefits while maintaining low GWP.
