Intensification of homegardens in the Nuba Mountains may lead to increases in C and nutrient losses from these small-scale land-use systems and potentially threaten their sustainability. This study, therefore, aimed at determining gaseous C and N fluxes from homegarden soils of different soil moisture, temperature, and C and N status. Emissions of CO 2 , NH 3 , and N 2 O from soils of two traditional and two intensified homegardens and an uncultivated control were recorded biweekly during the rainy season in 2010. Flux rates were determined with a portable dynamic closed chamber system consisting of a photo-acoustic multi-gas field monitor connected to a PTFE coated chamber. Topsoil moisture and temperature were recorded simultaneously to the gas measurements. Across all homegardens emissions averaged 4,527 kg CO 2 -C ha -1 , 22 kg NH 3 -N ha -1 , and 11 kg N 2 O-N ha -1 for the observation period from June to December. Flux rates were largely positively correlated with soil moisture and predominantly negatively with soil temperature. Significant positive, but weak (r s < 0.34) correlations between increasing management intensity and emissions were noted for CO 2 -C. Similarly, morning emissions of NH 3 and increasing management intensity were weakly correlated (r s = 0.17). The relatively high gaseous C and N losses in the studied homegardens call for effective management practices to secure the soil organic C status of these traditional land-use systems.
