Objective Report results from the first three years of measurements of net ecosystems CO 2 exchange (NEE) from the tower flux systems Address the following questions: –How does the seasonal and annual CO 2 exchange of maize compare with that of soybean? –What is the impact of irrigation on the CO 2 exchange of these crops? –How does the annual CO 2 exchange of a continuous maize system compare with a maize-soybean rotation?

University of Nebraska Agricultural Research and Development Center near Mead, NE University of Nebraska Agricultural Research and Development Center near Mead, NE Three cropping systems Three cropping systems Site 1: Irrigated continuous maize (Zea mays, L.) Site 1: Irrigated continuous maize (Zea mays, L.) Site 2: Irrigated maize-soybean (Glycine max. [L.] Site 2: Irrigated maize-soybean (Glycine max. [L.] Merr.) rotation Merr.) rotation Site 3: Rainfed maize-soybean rotation Site 3: Rainfed maize-soybean rotation Sites 1 and 2: Center-pivot irrigation systems Sites 1 and 2: Center-pivot irrigation systems

Prior to initiation of the study Prior to initiation of the study –Sites 1 and 2 had a 10-year history of maize-soybean rotation under no-till –Site 3 had a variable cropping history of primarily wheat, soybean, oats, and maize grown in small plots with tillage

All three sites were uniformly tilled by disking prior to the initiation of the study to humogenize the top 0.1 m of soil and incorporate P and K fertilizers, as well as previously accumulated soil residues All three sites were uniformly tilled by disking prior to the initiation of the study to humogenize the top 0.1 m of soil and incorporate P and K fertilizers, as well as previously accumulated soil residues Since initiation of study in 2001 Since initiation of study in 2001 –All sites under no-till –BMP

Re night = NEE night Re day = NEE night * Q 10 (T a,day - T a,night )/10 GPP = NEE + Re GPP = NEE + Re Ecosystem Respiration (Re) and Gross Primary Production (GPP)

Integrated magnitudes of GPP and Re (over a growing season)

Non-Growing Season (Autumn/winter/spring)CO 2 Exchange Daily Re: Correlated with soil temperature (R 2 = 0.59 to 0.71, P < 0.01) (R 2 = 0.59 to 0.71, P < 0.01) Highest Re: Near harvest time Spring Spring Re non-growing = 0.15 to 0.25 Re growing

Annually integrated magnitudes of GPP and Re

NBP = Annual NEE – C g + I c where:NBP = Net Biome Production NEE = Net ecosystem CO 2 exchange C g = Amount of C removed with harvested grain I c = CO 2 released from irrigation water (Estimated using in vitro direct measurements of CO 2 release from irrigation water applied to soil) Annual Carbon Balance

Conclusions Accounting for the grain C removed during harvest and the CO 2 released from irrigation water, our tower eddy covariance flux data over the first three years suggest that, at this time: The rainfed maize-soybean rotation system is C neutralThe rainfed maize-soybean rotation system is C neutral – Consistent with results from ongoing studies in Illinois and Minnesota The irrigated continuous maize is nearly C neutral or a slight source of CThe irrigated continuous maize is nearly C neutral or a slight source of C The irrigated maize-soybean rotation is a moderate source of CThe irrigated maize-soybean rotation is a moderate source of C
