Abstract:
      Straw returning to paddy field can promote soil carbon sequestration. There is great uncertainty about the effects of different straw utilization methods on methane(CH4) emissions in rice-wheat rotation systems. Therefore, in situ static chamber-gas chromatography was used to observe the effects of different straw utilization methods on CH4 emissions in a rice-wheat rotation system in the Taihu Lake region. Four treatments were set up in the experiment, including NPK(no straw plus fertilizer), NPK+S(wheat straw plus fertilizer), NPK+ B(straw-derived biochar plus fertilizer), and NPK+SDI(wheat straw with straw-decomposing microbial inoculants plus fertilizer). The CH4 emissions under different treatments were mainly concentrated in the rice growing season. Compared with those of the NPK treatment, the NPK+S and NPK+SDI treatments increased the CH4 emissions by 12.7% and 20.9%, respectively. Conversely, the NPK+B treatment decreased the CH4 emissions by 7.5% compared with those of NPK. Compared with those of the NPK+S treatment, the CH4 emissions in the NPK + SDI treatment significantly increased by 7.3%, whereas they decreased significantly by 17.9% in the NPK + B treatment. Biochar amendment(NPK+B) increased the grain yield, but other treatments did not. Compared with those of the NPK treatment, the NPK+S and NPK+SDI treatments significantly increased the yield-scaled methane emissions by 23.7% and 18.4%, respectively. In contrast, the NPK+ B treatment reduced the yield-scaled methane emissions by 19.9%. However, compared with those of the NPK+S treatment, both the NPK+ SDI and NPK + B treatments reduced the yield-scaled methane emissions by 4.3% and 35.3%, respectively. This study shows that coapplication of straw-decomposing microbial inoculants or application of straw-derived biochar are advantageous for reducing the environmental damage caused by straw returning to the field. In addition, the straw-derived biochar is better.
