A synthetic analysis of greenhouse gas emissions from manure amended agricultural soils in China.

ABSTRACT: Application of manure has been recommended as an effective strategy to to mitigate climate change. However, the magnitude of greenhouse gases emission derived by application of manure to agricultural soils across environmental conditions still remains unclear. Here, we synthesized data from 379 observations in China and quantified the responses of soil nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions to manure (Org-M) in comparison to chemical fertilizers (Min-F) or non-fertilizers (Non-F). The results showed that N2O, CO2 and CH4 emissions were significantly affected by Org-M compared to Min-F (percentage change: -3, +15 and +60%, P?
