[1] Most countries use a 1-year-resolution emission factor approach (Tier 1 or 2) to estimate terrestrial N 2 O emissions as part of their national greenhouse gas inventory. Little attention has so far been paid to the effect of the temporal resolution of the approach (e.g., day, season, and year) on N 2 O emission estimates. The effect of lumping temporal variation can be very large because of daily or seasonal variations of processes causing N 2 O emissions. Therefore, we compared annual N 2 O emissions from a model with daily time steps (DNDC) with those of a model with annual time steps (INITIATOR). Emissions were simulated for two intensively managed grassland plots in the Dutch fen meadow landscape. Annual N 2 O emissions from the investigated grasslands were sensitive to rainfall distribution within the year, especially to summer rainfall. We recommend that Tier 2 N 2 O emission estimates for intensively managed grasslands on peat soils in the temperate climate zone are adjusted for relative summer rainfall.

“…In the past 20 yr, the DNDC model has been proven to be effective in many places around the world, such as North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania (Li et al, 1996;Plant, 1999;Stange et al, 2000;Li, 2000;Zhang et al, 2002;Xu et al, 2003;Cai et al, 2003;Frolking et al, 2004;Grant et al, 2004;Smith et al, 2004;Butterbach-Bahl et al, 2004;Pathak et al, 2005;Jagadeesh Babu et al, 2005;Beheydt et al, 2007;Smith et al, 2010).

Modeling impacts of farming management practices on greenhouse gas emissions in the oasis region of China

Abstract. Agricultural ecosystems are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). An important method of investigating GHG emissions in agricultural ecosystems is model simulation. Field measurements quantifying N 2 O and CO 2 fluxes were taken in a summer maize ecosystem in Zhangye City, Gansu Province, in northwestern China in 2010. Observed N 2 O and CO 2 fluxes were used for validating flux predictions by a DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model. Then sensitivity tests on the validated DNDC model were carried out on three variables: climatic factors, soil properties and agricultural management. Results indicated that: (1) the factors that N 2 O emissions were sensitive to included nitrogen fertilizer application rate, manure amendment and residue return rate; (2) CO 2 emission increased with increasing manure amendment, residue return rate and initial soil organic carbon (SOC); and (3) net global warming potential (GWP) increased with increasing N fertilizer application rate and decreased with manure amendment, residue return rate and precipitation increase. Simulation of the long-term impact on SOC, N 2 O and net GWP emissions over 100 yr of management led to the conclusion that increasing residue return rate is a more efficient method of mitigating GHG emission than increasing fertilizer N application rate in the study area.

Miao GuoSep 2010 LCA of Light-weight Eco-compositesAbstract 3 AbstractThe environmental profiles of novel wheat based foam materials were investigated in this thesis using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods. The LCAs were developed using primary data collected from industrial sources combined with new laboratory experiments supplemented with secondary data from publicly available sources.Laboratory research was conducted to obtain important missing data on WBFs for the LCA modelling, including physico-chemical parameters, biodegradability and energy recovery under anaerobic digestion conditions.Contribution analysis suggested that the emissions evolved from the wheat agroecosystem and PVOH production, together with the energy and infrastructure involved in WBF production were the major contributors to the environmental burdens of the WBF life cycle in most impact categories. The atmospheric emissions resulting from WBF degradation at the end-of-life also emerged as another important contributor to environmental impact. Amongst the diverse ‗end-of-life' scenarios examined, AD and home composting were suggested to be the optimum choices for WBF waste treatment. This research discusses two N 2 O modelling approaches and presents a method to expand the system boundary by integrating the process-oriented model DNDC for field emissions into the LCA. Sensitivity analysis suggests that the environmental profiles of agricultural products are influenced substantially by the system boundary definition. LCA of Light-weight Eco-compositesAbstract 4 Furthermore, it suggests that the ‗general rule' in LCA practice by applying an empirical model or a default emission factor (EF) could deliver unreliable LCA findings.This study also evaluated the sensitivity of the LCA results to methodology and data variations and quantified the uncertainties in the LCA outcomes arising from uncertainty in the inventory and data variability. This has led to an increase in confidence in the LCA findings. At the same time it indicates the areas where improvements in data or methods are needed in order for robust conclusions to be drawn and unbiased information to be delivered e.g. the methodological rigidity of characterization models, the IPCC Tier 1 EF uncertainty range.
