黄淮海地区不同种植模式作物产量和温室气体排放特征及其差异

Characteristics and differences of crop yield and greenhouse gases emissions under different planting patterns in the Huang-Huai-Hai Region*

  • 摘要: 气候变化导致极端天气频发, 严重影响作物可持续生产。解析不同种植模式下作物产量和农田温室气体排放特征, 可为黄淮海地区作物丰产和低碳排放的气候韧性种植模式构建提供理论依据。本研究于2015—2020年在中国农业科学院作物科学研究所新乡试验基地开展大田试验, 设置了5种不同种植模式, 分别为单季冬小麦(W), 单季夏玉米(M), 单季夏大豆(S), 冬小麦-夏大豆一年两熟(W-S)和冬小麦-夏玉米一年两熟(W-M)。结果表明: W-M周年玉米当量产量、能量产量、经济效益均显著高于W、S、M和W-S; W-S的N2O累积排放量、直接温室气体排放量和单位面积碳足迹分别比W-M降低了10.7%, 11.1%和4.7%; 单季大豆的氮素积累量分别比小麦和玉米增加了31.1%和87.8%, 而玉米的氮肥偏生产力最高。综上, 冬小麦-夏玉米一年两熟模式可获得最高的作物产量、能量产量、氮肥偏生产力和经济效益, 在以产量和经济效益为目标的作物生产中, 冬小麦-夏玉米模式是较好的种植模式, 但其温室气体排放也最高, 后续应深入研究该种植模式的减排技术, 以达到丰产低碳排放协同。

     

    Abstract: Climate change has increasingly triggered extreme weather events, leading to significant adverse impacts on crop production and posing challenges to the sustainability of agricultural systems. This study investigates the effects of different cropping patterns on crop yields and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Huang-Huai-Hai Region, aiming to provide a scientific basis for constructing climate-resilient, high-yield, and low-carbon cropping systems in the region. Field experiments were conducted from 2015 to 2020 at the Xinxiang Experimental Base of the Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Five distinct planting patterns were established, including single-cropping winter wheat (W), single-cropping summer maize (M), single-cropping summer soybean (S), winter wheat-summer soybean double cropping system (W-S), and winter wheat-summer maize double cropping system (W-M). The study thoroughly analyzed crop yields under these five cropping systems over six years, calculating the output value and economic benefits associated with each system. Additionally, from 2017 to 2019, the study monitored soil GHG emissions, measured crop nitrogen accumulation, and calculated the partial factor productivity of nitrogen. Furthermore, the carbon footprint of each planting pattern was also assessed. Results revealed that the W-M double cropping system consistently outperformed other patterns in terms of annual maize-equivalent yield, energy output, and economic benefits. This system demonstrated superior productivity, making it a highly effective model for achieving high yields and maximizing economic returns. However, the W-M pattern also exhibited the highest GHG emissions, indicating a potential trade-off between yield and environmental sustainability. In contrast, the W-S double cropping system showed a reduction in cumulative nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, direct GHG emissions, and carbon footprint per unit area by 10.7%, 11.1%, and 4.7%, respectively, compared to the W-M system. This reduction highlights the W-S system's potential for mitigating GHG emissions while still maintaining a relatively high yield. Moreover, the study found that single-season soybean cropping resulted in significantly higher nitrogen accumulation compared to wheat and maize, with increases of 31.1% and 87.8%, respectively. However, despite the lower nitrogen accumulation in maize, it exhibited the highest partial factor productivity of nitrogen. In conclusion, while the W-M double cropping system emerges as the most effective pattern for maximizing crop yields and economic benefits, it also presents environmental challenges due to its higher GHG emissions. Therefore, further research is essential to develop emission reduction techniques for the W-M system, aiming to achieve a balance between high yield and low carbon emissions. This study provides critical insights into the trade-offs and synergies between crop productivity and environmental sustainability under different cropping systems, offering valuable guidance for the development of climate-resilient agricultural practices in the Huang-Huai-Hai Region and similar agro-ecological regions.
