Dataset Information

Reduction in soil CO2 efflux through alteration of hydrothermal factor in milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus L.)-rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) intercropping system.


ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Intercropping has a potential to reduce the CO2 emission from farmlands. Limited information is available on the underlying reasons.

Methods

This study investigated the effect of milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus L.) (MV), rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) monoculture (RS) and intercropping (Intercrop) on soil CO2 emissions, moisture and temperature in a bucket experiment during 210 days from October 2015 to May 2016 on Chongqing, China.

Results

The results showed that soil CO2 efflux of MV, RS and Intercrop was 1.44, 1.55 and 2.08 μmol·m-2·s-1 during seedling and stem elongation stages and 3.08, 1.59 and 1.95 μmol·m-2·s-1 during flowering and podding stages. At seeding and
