China accounts for more than half of the world's vegetable production, and identifying the contribution of vegetable production to nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in China is therefore important. We performed a meta-analysis that included 153 field measurements of N₂O emissions from 21 field studies in China. Our goal was to quantify N₂O emissions and fertilizer nitrogen (N) based-emission factors (EFs) in Chinese vegetable systems and to clarify the effects of rates and types of N fertilizer in both open-field and greenhouse systems. The results indicated that the intensive vegetable systems in China had an average N₂O emission of 3.91 kg N₂O-N ha⁻¹ and an EF of 0.69%. Although the EF was lower than the IPCC default value of 1.0%, the average N₂O emission was generally greater than in other cropping systems due to greater input of N fertilizers. The EFs were similar in greenhouse vs. open-field systems but N₂O emissions were about 1.4 times greater in greenhouses. The EFs were not affected by N rate, but N₂O emissions for both open-field and greenhouse systems increased with N rate. The total and fertilizer-induced N₂O emissions, as well as EFs, were unaffected by the type of fertilizers in greenhouse system under same N rates. In addition to providing basic information about N₂O emissions from Chinese vegetable systems, the results suggest that N₂O emissions could be reduced without reducing yields by treating vegetable systems in China with a combination of synthetic N fertilizer and manure at optimized economic rates.
