Soil Nitrous Oxide Emission and Methane Exchange From Diversified Cropping Systems in Pannonian Region

Diversified farming systems are promoted to improve ecosystem services in agriculture while maintaining productivity. Intercropping could soil quality, the stability of yields and climate resilience. Whether direct emissions greenhouse gases from reduced as well, depends on specific measures diversification. Here, we determined gas soils two diversification experiments Pannonian Hungary. Firstly, an asparagus field, oat field pea was introduced intercrop between berms. Secondly, grass aromatic herbs were intercropped a vineyard grape rows. The results show that especially for nitrous oxide, average treatment can increase with additional legumes (+252% peas) but decrease (−66%). No significant changes found methane exchange. This shows that, other be increased by intercropping, intercropping highly context dependent.
