Brief description
This data package describes a replicated study comparing N2O emissions from plant-water-soil scenarios, typical of Summer broadacre cropping systems (soybeans) in the irrigated areas of the Riverine Plane in the Southern Murray Darling Basin, Australia. The methodology involves a large weighing lysimeter facility fitted with automated greenhouse gas chambers for comprehensive determination of water balance, direct gas fluxes and nitrogen and carbon in leachates. The experiment was designed to i) obtain relationships between soil moisture wet-dry cycles and N2O emissions (with and without fertilizer application) for improved calibration of computer models developed to predict soil N2O emissions at a national level. ii) Compare N2O fluxes from a wheat stubble treatment with a soy beans sown into wheat stubble treatment, keeping irrigation constant, to better quantify direct N2O fluxes from an irrigated Summer legume crop.Data time period: 2012 to 2013
