Abstract

Greenhouse-gas emission factors are widely used to estimate emissions arising from a defined unit of a specific activity. Such estimates are used both for international reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and for myriad national and sub-national reporting purposes (for example, European Union Emissions Trading Scheme; EU ETS). As with the other so-called 'Kyoto protocol GHGs', the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a methodology for national and sub-national estimation of N₂O emissions, based on the sector from which the emissions arise. The objective of this study was to develop a integrated emission factor to estimate the direct N₂O emission from an agricultural field cultivated with the red pepper, soy bean, spring cabbage, autumn cabbage and potato in 2010∼2012. Emission factor of N₂O calculated using accumulated N2O emission, N fertilization rate, and background N₂O emission over three year experiment was 0.00596±0.001337 kg N₂O-N (N kg)^-1. More extensive studies need to be conducted to develop N₂O emission factors for other upland crops in the various regions of Korea because N₂O emission is influenced by many factors including climate characteristics, soil properties, and agricultural practices.

Relationships between the averaged N2O emissions and nitrogen fertilizer application rates during red pepper, soy bean, spring cabbage, autumn cabbage and potato cultivation in upland soil from 2010 to 2012.
