“…However, recent studies have shown that this benefit could be counteracted by methane emissions during storage and spreading of compost and manure, implying the importance of improved management of this potential important nutrient and energy resource (Daniel-Gromke et al 2015;Rodhe et al 2015).…”

“…Usually, in studies on emissions from fields fertilized with organic fertilizers, the chamber method is used (Clemens et al, 2006, Johansen et al, 2013Rodhe et al, 2015). In this method, chambers are placed on the soils after digestate application.…”

A b s t r a c t. Digestate from biogas plants can play important role in agriculture by providing nutrients, improving soil structure and reducing the use of mineral fertilizers. Still, less is known about greenhouse gas emissions from soil during and after digestate application. The aim of the study was to estimate the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane (CH 4 ) from a field which was fertilized with digestate. The gas fluxes were measured with the eddy covariance system. Each day, the eddy covariance system was installed in various places of the field, depending on the dominant wind direction, so that each time the results were obtained from an area where the digestate was distributed. The results showed the relatively low impact of the studied gases emissions on total greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Maximum values of the CO 2 and CH 4 fluxes, 79.62 and 3.049 µmol s -1 m -2

“…Agriculture contributes globally 10-12% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (IPCC, 2007) and land applied organic manures contribute substantially to this (e.g. Rodhe et al, 2015) through the release of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N O) from carbon (C) and N compounds in the manures and also, indirectly, by affecting soil properties which can increase GHG emissions from soils (Thangarajan et al, 2013). For example, Huang et al (2004) reported that manures with high C:N ratios may reduce CO 2 emissions and increase soil organic carbon, while manures with low C:N ratios may lead to an increase in soil CO 2 emissions.…”

“…For example, Huang et al (2004) reported that manures with high C:N ratios may reduce CO 2 emissions and increase soil organic carbon, while manures with low C:N ratios may lead to an increase in soil CO 2 emissions. Emissions of CH 4 , which is generated under anaerobic conditions, tend to be limited from slurries applied to well aerated soils; however, slurry storage emissions can be substantial and can exceed those from landspreading (Rodhe et al, 2015). Currently in many countries, abatement of such emissions during storage is seen as a cost effective measure to meet national emission targets.…”

This study aimed to quantify leaching losses of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and carbon (C), as well as carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH) emissions from stored slurry, and from packed soil columns surface applied with unamended and chemically amended dairy and pig slurries, and dairy soiled water (DSW). The amendments to the slurries, which were applied individually and together, were: polyaluminum chloride (PAC) and zeolite for pig and dairy slurry, and liquid aluminium sulfate (alum) and zeolite for DSW. Application of pig slurry resulted in the highest total nitrogen (TN) and nitrate-nitrogen (NO-N) fluxes (22 and 12 kg ha), whereas corresponding fluxes from dairy slurries and DSW were not significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those from the control soil. There were no significant (p < 0.05) differences in leachate N losses between unamended and amended dairy slurries, unamended and amended pig slurries, and unamended and amended DSW. There were no leachate P losses measured over the experimental duration. Total cumulative organic (TOC) and inorganic C (TIC) losses in leachate were highest for unamended dairy slurry (82 and 142 kg ha), and these were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced when amended with PAC (38 and 104 kg ha). The highest average cumulative CO emissions for all treatments were measured for pig slurries (680 kg CO-C ha) followed by DSW (515 kg CO-C ha) and dairy slurries (486 kg CO-C ha). The results indicate that pig slurry, either in raw or chemically amended form, poses the greatest environmental threat of leaching losses and gaseous emissions of CO and CH and, in general, amendment of wastewater with PAC, alum or zeolite, does not mitigate the risk of these losses.
