Abstract

Abstract:

Greenhouse gas （GHGs） fluxes such as methane （CH₄） and nitrous oxide （N₂O） vary strongly with spatial and temporal changes in terrestrial ecosystems. It is time-consuming and laborious to directly measure GHGs in the field. The application of the DNDC （denitrification-decomposition） model on data of in-situ observations would be beneficial for the determination of GHGs dynamics， which would fill the monitoring gap. Potential of the DNDC model for GHGs prediction was explored in this study. Characteristics in CH₄ and N₂O fluxes were simulated and compared from soils under the effects of different concentrations of nitrogen addition in the Gurbantunggut Desert. The results showed that the DNDC model can simulate the changes in N₂O emissions from desert soils， with the simulated values significantly correlated with the measured values （P<0.001）. However， the simulated changes in CH₄ uptake in desert soils were not significant with measured values， although the simulated annual cumulative uptake was not significantly different. The sensitivity test analysis of the DNDC model showed that soil N₂O emissions and CH₄ uptake increased significantly with increasing mean annual temperature， soil organic carbon （SOC） content and nitrogen application. Annual precipitation had no significant effect on changes in soil N₂O and CH₄ fluxes， and soil bulk weight showed significant negative correlation with soil N₂O emissions and CH₄ uptake. Different textured soils had significant effects on the two GHG emissions， with sandy loam soils having the greatest effects. We found that temperature was the most important factor influencing the fluxes of N₂O and CH₄ in desert soils through multiple regression analysis. Under the background of global change， our results suggested that the DNDC model would have a strong application prospect in estimating the changes in greenhouse gas fluxes in desert areas in the future， although there are still some problems in the application of the model to desert areas.
