Abstract: | A randomized field experiment with three replicates was conducted in the subtropical region of China to investigate the effects
of integrated rice-duck system (RD) on methane (CH4) emission, active soil organic carbon fractions and their relationships in 2007 and 2008, compared with conventional rice
system (CK). Methane emissions were measured at 7–9 days intervals using a closed static chamber technique, and two fractions
of active soil organic carbon, namely, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and microbial biomass carbon (MBC), were analyzed simultaneously.
Soil DOC and MBC in RD and CK had similarly distinct seasonal variation patterns within the 2 years. During this time DOC
and MBC concentrations were low at the early growth stage, increased during panicle differentiation and heading period, and
dropped during grain filling period of rice. CH4 emission fluxes from RD and CK followed a similar seasonal variation pattern both in 2007 and 2008. Two peaks of CH4 emission were observed, the first at the tillering stage, second at panicle differentiation and heading stage. The CH4 cumulative emission was reduced in RD by 19.3 and 19.6% in 2007 and 2008, respectively, compared with CK. Seasonal variation
pattern of CH4 emission was regulated by soil DOC, MBC and soil temperature, all of which were significantly positively correlated with
methane emissions. Improvement in soil redox status was the predominant reason for significant reduction of CH4 emission in RD. These results clearly indicate that integrated rice-duck system could be an effective mode of rice farming
for decrease in methane emission in southern China. |
