Three patterns of winter use were performed in the paddy field, including RRR (rice-rice-ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) cropping system), CRR (rice-rice-Chinese milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus L.) cropping system) and FRR (rice-rice cropping system with winter fallow). During the winter, the average daily CO2 fluxes were greater (P 〈 0.05) in the RRR and CRR than the FRR. During the winter crop growing seasons, both the average daily CO2 fluxes and the total CO2 emissions were different as the following orders: RRR 〉 CRR 〉 FRR. The average CO2 fluxes during early rice and late rice season were similar. The highest CO2 flux was found at rice tillering stage with an order as the follows: RRR 〉 CRR 〉 FRR and CRR 〉 RRR 〉 FRR both in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The annual CO2 emissions of RRR and CRR were significantly higher respectively by 857.0 g.CO2-C.m2 and 607.4 g.CO2-C.m-2 than the FRR. The results show that straw recycling of winter cover crops measure may strongly influence the CO2 emission in paddy field in southern China.展开更多

Over the four years, the average CH4 emission during the rice growing seasons was 76.9, 65.8 and 64.9 kg CH4ha-1in treatments CK(zero N), U(urea) and C(CRF), respectively. Urea and CRF significantly reduced CH4 emission by 14.4% and 15.6%, and increased average rice grain yield by 25.8% and 19.7%(P < 0.05), respectively, compared with treatment CK. Flooding duration would affect CRF's effect on CH4 emission from paddy fields. Under normal aeration conditions, CH4 emission tended to be 3.9%–15.2% lower in treatment C than in treatment U from 2009 to 2011, while it tended to be 4.2% higher under delayed aeration conditions in 2008. The findings suggest that mid-season aeration(MSA) starting on D30(30 days after rice transplanting), just like the local practice, would optimize the CRF's effect on CH4 emission from rice fields in China. Over the four years, average rice yield did not differ between treatments U and C, and tended to be 5% lower in treatment C than in treatment U.展开更多

Straw application increased CH4 emission and CH4 concentration in the soil solution and floodwater. A positive seasonal correlation was also observed in the variation between CH4 flux and CH4 concentration in soil solution. The seasonal total CH4 emission (51.6 g CH4 m^-2) in Treatment WS (straw applied) was about 168% higher than that in Treatment CK (without straw). The emitted CH4 and CH4 in soil solution were initially relatively enriched, then depleted and finally enriched again in 13C in both treatments, while CH4 in floodwater became isotopically heavier. The carbon isotopic signature of emitted CH4 and CH4 in floodwater averaged around -62%o and -45%0 for both treatments, respectively, and was not significantly influenced by the application of straw. However, straw application caused the CH4 in soil solution to be significantly depleted in lac during the middle of the rice season, and the mean δ13C value was lower in WS (-57.5‰) than in CK (-49.9‰). Calculation from the isotopic data showed that straw application increased the fraction of CH4 oxidized, causing no significant difference in the δ13C value of the emitted CH4 between the two treatments.展开更多
