Possibility of avoiding legumes-deriving boost of N2O emissions in tropical monoculture tree plantations

Abstract

Abstract:

Recent reports warned that planting leguminous trees under monocultures elevates nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions through N-rich litter inputs. We hypothesized that planting trees on sandy soil can avoid the legume-derived boost of N₂O emissions through limiting water availability for N₂O production. Effects of planting legumes on methane (CH₄) uptakes were also examined. N₂O emissions and CH₄ uptakes were compared among five tropical tree plantation stands including three leguminous stands (Acacia auriculiformis, Acacia mangium, and Xylia xylocarpa) and two non-leguminous stands (Eucalyptus camaldulensis, and Hopea odorata). Due to lower water contents of the soil, the N₂O fluxes in our study site were at the lower end of the tropical rain forests. As we hypothesized, no clear differences in N₂O emissions were observed between leguminous and non-leguminous stands. CH₄ uptake rates in the present study were lower than those of other tropical forests. CH₄ uptakes in leguminous stands did not differ from those in non-leguminous stands. Overall, we demonstrated that planting leguminous trees on sandy soils has a potential to enable us to manage leguminous monoculture tree plantations without boosting N₂O emissions or reducing CH₄ uptakes.
