Abstract
In this paper, we presented the preliminary results of N2O fluxes from Chinese upland and rice paddy fields. The mean N2O flux from upland fields of North China is 30.6 µg N2O-N m-2 h-1; the average N2O flux from Chinese rice paddy field is 39.5 µg N2O-N m-2 h-1. The effects of cropping system, water management and application of N fertilizer and organic manure on N2O emission from rice paddy field have also been presented.
