| description | Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural fields is crucial for mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable agriculture. This study conducted a meta-analysis of 82 domestic experimental studies to assess the effects of fertilization, tillage, and straw return on CH<sub>4</sub>, CO<sub>2</sub>, and N<sub>2</sub>O emissions across different regions in China. The key findings include: fertilization measures: split fertilization increased CH<sub>4</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O emissions, whereas a single application had the strongest impact on CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. The application of carbon alone or in combination with NPK reduced GHG emissions, while the combination of nitrogen and farmyard manure significantly increased CH<sub>4</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Tillage measures: tillage generally reduced CH<sub>4</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions but increased N<sub>2</sub>O emissions. No-tillage effectively suppressed CH<sub>4</sub> emissions, while rotary tillage significantly reduced CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Straw return: straw returning through rotary tillage led to the highest increase in CH<sub>4</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, whereas direct straw return most notably enhanced N<sub>2</sub>O emissions. This study provides insights into optimizing agricultural practices to mitigate GHG emissions and offers guidance for sustainable and low-carbon agricultural development. |
