Abstract

Snowfall is a general natural phenomenon in winterspring alternate season in northeast of China. Snow was melt with the increase of temperature, i.e. freezing-thawing alternations affects soil properties. Static chamber technique was used to monitor nitrous oxide (N2O) flux from black soils in a snowfall process. The fertilization treatments are none (CK), 150 kg N ha -1 (N1), 300 kg N ha-1 (N2) and 150 kg N ha-1 organic manure plus 150 kg N ha-1 chemical nitrogen fertilizer (M1N1). Before snowfall, there is insignificant difference in N2O emission from four treatments. After snowfall, N2O emission from CK, N1, N2 and MINI is 9.56, 9.16, 9.86, 9.91 mg N2O-N m-2 during 55-hour monitoring period, respectively (p<0.05). Snowmelt increase soil moisture content, which significantly stimulated the soil N2O emissions, meanwhile, freezing-thawing alternations influences N2O emission. The findings indicate that effect of snow on N2O emission should be considered separately, i.e. before and after snowfall.
