abstract = {The application of organic materials to agricultural lands
is considered good practice to improve soil organic matter
content and recycle nutrients for crop growth. The anaerobic
treatment of food waste may have environmental benefits,
particularly with regard to greenhouse gases (GHGs)
mitigation and enhancement of carbon sequestration.This work
presents the results from a field experiment to evaluate
CO(2) , CH(4) and N(2) O emissions from grassland amended
with digestate produced by anaerobic fermentation of food
waste. Experimental plots, located close to Rothamsted
Research-North Wyke, were established using a randomized
block design with three replicates and two treatments, added
digestate (DG) and the unamended control (CNT). The
digestate was applied on three occasions at an equivalent
rate of 80 kg N ha(-1) .The application of digestate led
to an increase in CO(2) emissions, especially after the
2(nd) application (74.1 kg CO(2) -C ha(-1) day(-1) )
compared with the CNT soil (36.4 kg CO(2) -C ha(-1)
day(-1) ), whereas DG treatment did not affect the
overall CH(4) and N(2) O emissions. The total grass yield
harvested on a dry matter basis was greater in the DG
treated plots (0.565 kg m(-2) ) than in the CNT plots
(0.282 kg m(-2) ), as was the (15) N content in the
harvest collected from the DG plots.The results suggest that
the digestate can be applied to agricultural land as a
fertilizer to grow crops. Our study was conducted in an
exceptionally dry growing season, so conclusions about the
effect of digestate on GHG emissions should take this into
account, and further field trials conducted under more
typical growing seasons are needed.},
