Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Green manure intercropping significantly decreased cumulative N2O emissions compared with monoculture maize.
- Intervention effect The N2O mitigation effect of green manure intercropping was further strengthened under reduced N input.
- Intervention effect Maize intercropped with vetch (M/V) under reduced N input reduced N2O emissions per unit of grain yield by 9.2-11.5% compared with maize intercropped with rape (M/R).
- Mechanism The reduction in N2O emissions under M/V was driven by its ability to stabilize soil mineral N availability.
- Observation The independent maize growth stage contributed 52.6-66.9% of total seasonal N2O emissions.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that integrating green manure intercropping with reduced chemical N input mitigates N2O emissions while maintaining maize productivity in arid regions.
