The production rates of N_2O from agricultural soils were measured with the chamber method.The results in- dicate that the background concentration of N_2O averages(308±5)×10^(-9)in 1989,which is close to that ob- tained at the other background stations abroad.However,at both urban and rural areas,atmospheric N_2O concentrations are higher.N_2O emission fluxes from several farmlands are different and dependent on the fac- tors of agricultural practice and climate.But their magnitudes are at the same order.Preliminary calculation shows that the released N_2O-N from agricultural sources(cultivated soil and N-fertilizers)amounts to 122 Gg/a in China in 1990.展开更多
