“…found that CO 2 flux increased briefly after tillage in the Northern Corn Belt of the USA, but the effect of tillage was negligible when the CO 2 flux was integrated across an entire year. Although fertilizer applications are the largest contributors to N 2 O emission from soil, tillage can increase emission of N 2 O in maize systems (Beheydt et al, 2008;Ussiri et al, 2009), have no effect (Jantalia et al, 2008; or decrease emission of N 2 O compared to zero tillage (Robertson et al, 2000). Emission of N 2 O is the result of so many interacting processes that it is difficult to predict how tillage practice will affect it.…”

“…Most studies present the influence of only singular crops (Beheydt et al 2008) or two-crop rotations on the environment (Ludwig et al 2011). Impact assessment of crops cultivation on environment should be analysed in long-term experiments and in multi-annual rotations.…”

“…Since its development, the model has been expanded and applied by many researchers to a wide range of production systems at a regional and national scale, i.e. Belgium (Beheydt et al 2008), Poland (Syp et al 2011), Canada (Smith et al 2010) and China (Ouyang et al 2013). However some of them suggested that pedotransfer functions and denitrification submodel may need further improvement (Ludwig et al 2011).…”

The study presents the impact of management practices on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and nitrogen (N) losses calculated with a denitrification-decomposition model. Two cropping systems were analysed. The first rotation (A) consisted of potato, winter wheat, spring barley and corn. The second (B) included potato, winter wheat, spring barley and clover with grasses mixture. In A1 and B1 scenarios, fluxes were estimated on the basis of mineral fertilizers input, whereas in A2 and B2 scenarios the assessment of emissions was made with regards to manure. The results indicated that the application of manure in A rotation led to the increase of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emission, N leaching, N surplus, crop yields, and the decrease of nitrogen use efficiency higher than in B rotation. Additional doses of manure in A2 scenario increased the potential of the accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC) and global warming potential (GWP) by 157%. In B2 scenario, SOC augmented more than three-fold but GWP increased only by 10%. The N losses and GHG emissions could be minimised by controlling N application through the implementation of nutrient management plan in which N doses are defined based on the crop needs and soil quality.

“…Nitrous oxide emission from arable soil cultivated with stalk crops such as maize was generally monitored in interrow soil rather than in interrow + row soil due to difficulty in locating the chamber around plants (Beheydt et al, 2008;Dong et al, 2001;Sehy et al, 2003;van Groenigen et al, 2004). However, some researchers suggested that the chamber containing both maize row and interrow area could better estimate N 2 O emissions in the field (Halvorson et al, 2008;Mosier et al, 2006).…”
