Klimagasemission im Futterbau: Vergleich von leguminosenbasierten und intensiv stickstoffgedüngten Grünlandbeständen

Aim of the presented study was the comparison of the specific emissions of CO2 equivalents of a legume based and a mineral N fertilised grassland considering the N2O emissions caused by N fertilisation and soil compaction. The field trial was set up on the experimental station “Hohenschulen” in northern Germany with the factors soil compaction, N fertilisation and experimental year. The N2O emissions were affected by an interaction of soil compaction and N fertilisation, especially under moist spring conditions. The specific CO2-equivalent emission per unit energy yield was 67 % higher for the mineral N-fertilised grassland compared to the legume based grassland
