Trol. The soil absorption of CH4 increased from 13.53 mg?m22?h21 under HT to 16.72 mg?m22?h21 under HTS, from 15.59 mg?m22?h21 under RT to 18.20 mg?m22?h21 under RTS and from 9.01 mg?m22?h21 under NT to 11.36 mg?m22?h21 under NTS, respectively. However, N2O emission also increased after subsoiling (Fig. 2 D to F), which increased from 49.07 mg?m22?h21 under HT to 54.05 mg?m22?h21 under HTS and from 47.49 mg?m22?h21 under RT to 53.60 mg?m22?h21 under RTS.

However, the GWP of N2O increased under HTS, RTS and NTS (Table 1). Overall, therefore, the GWPs of the CH4 and N2O emissions taken together increased from 0.32 kg CO2 ha21 under HT to 0.37 kg CO2 ha21 under HTS, from 0.37 kg CO2 ha21 under RT to 0.39 kg CO2 ha21 under RTS and from 0.26 kg CO2 1662274 ha21 under NT to 0.49 kg CO2 ha21 under NTS, respectively.Correlation Analysis between CH4 and N2O and Soil FactorsSoil temperature significantly affected the CH4 uptake in soils, especially in lower (i.e., December, R2 = 0.7314, P,0.01; January, R2 = 0.6490, P,0.01; February, R2 = 0.6597, P,0.01) or higher (i.e., May, R2 = 0.8870, P,0.01) temperatures (P,0.01) (Table 2). At other sampling times, however, temperature did not affect on CH4 uptake, and soil moisture became a main influencing factor on the absorption of CH4 by the soils, especially in wet soil, such as after rain (R2 = 0.5154, P,0.05) and irrigation (R2 = 0.5154, P,0.05), when CH4 absorption was significantly limited (R2 = 0.5429, P,0.05). Higher soil moisture generally promoted the emission of N2O (R2 = 0.6735, P,0.01), but there was no obvious correlation between soil temperature and N2O emissions. In this study, SOC was also correlated with greater CH4 uptake (R2 1516647 = 0.12, P,0.05) (Fig. 3 A), whereas higher soil pH limited its absorption in the soil (R2 = 0.14, P,0.05) (Fig. 3 B). The emission of N2O was correlated with higher soil NH4+-N content (R2 = 0.27, P,0.01) (Fig. 4 A), while, similar to CH4, a higher pH in soil strongly limited the emission of N2O (R2 = 0.38, P,0.01) (Fig. 4 B).HTS, RTS and NTS compared with the temperatures under HT, RT and NT (Fig. 5 A to C). Soil temperature variations followed atmospheric temperature changes, but the average soil temperature during sampling period increased from 13.5uC under HT to 15.3uC under HTS, from 14.4uC under RT to 16.2uC under RTS and from 13.1uC under NT to 15.1uC under NTS, respectively. However, soil moisture decreased in the soil at 0?0 cm when converting to subsoiling that in the order of RTS.HTS.NTS (Fig. 5 D to F). The most obvious decrease, by 15.74 , occurred under the NTS treatment, while HTS and RTS decreased by 10.34 and 14.85 , respectively.
