The paper presents the results of a laboratory experiment focused on the assessment of the effect of different methods of application of ammonium nitrate (TD—top dressing and DP—deep placement) on N<sub>2</sub>O and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from soil without crop cover. Nitrogen application increased soil N<sub>2</sub>O–N fluxes by 24.3–46.4%, compared to untreated soil (NIL). N<sub>2</sub>O–N emissions from TD treatment were higher by 12.7%, compared to DP treatment. Soil CO<sub>2</sub>–C fluxes from DP treatment were significantly higher by 17.2%, compared to those from NIL treatment. Nonetheless, the differences between soil CO<sub>2</sub>–C fluxes from DP and TD treatments, as well as from TD and NIL treatments, were of no statistical significance. The cumulative greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (a sum of cumulative soil emissions of CO<sub>2</sub>–C and N<sub>2</sub>O–N after conversion to the equivalent of CO<sub>2</sub>–C) from both N-fertilized soils were similar, and higher by 20% than from untreated soil. The obtained data show that the effect of reduction of N<sub>2</sub>O–N soil emissions gained by deep placement of nitrogen fertilizer was completely lost through an increase in CO<sub>2</sub>–C emissions from the soil. This suggests that deep placement of nitrogen fertilizers in sandy soil without crop cover might not lead to a mitigation of soil GHG emissions.
