abstract = {Vegetable-production systems often show high soil mineral-N
contents and, thus, are potential sources for the release of
the climate-relevant trace gas N2O from soils. Despite
numerous investigations on N2O fluxes, information on the
impact of vegetable-production systems on N2O emissions in
regions with winter frost is still rare. This present study
aimed at measuring the annual N2O emissions and the total
yield of a lettuce-cauliflower rotation at different
fertilization rates on a Haplic Luvisol in a region exposed
to winter frost (S Germany). We measured N2O emissions from
plots fertilized with 0, 319, 401, and 528 kg N ha(-1)
(where the latter three amounts represented a strongly
reduced N-fertilization strategy, a target value system
[TVS] in Germany, and the N amount fertilized under good
agricultural practices). The N2O release from the treatments
was 2.3, 5.7, 8.8, and 10.6 kg N2O-N ha(-1) y(-1),
respectively. The corresponding emission factors calculated
on the basis of the total N input ranged between $1.3\%$ and
$1.6\%.$ Winter emission accounted for $45\%$ of the annual
emissions, and a major part occurred after the incorporation
of cauliflower residues. The annual N2O emission was
positively correlated with the nitrate content of the top
soil (0-25 cm) and with the N surpluses of the N balance.
Reducing the amount of N fertilizer applied significantly
reduced N2O fluxes. Since there was no significant effect on
yields if fertilization was reduced from 528 kg N ha(-1)
according to "good agricultural practice" to 401 kg N ha(-1)
determined by the TVS, we recommend this optimized
fertilization strategy.},
