Considerable uncertainty exists with regard to the effects of thinning and harvesting on N₂O emissions as a result of changes caused in the belowground environment by tree cutting. To evaluate on the effects of changes in the belowground environment on N₂O emissions from soils, we conducted a tree manipulation experiment in a Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) stand without soil compaction or slash falling near measurement chambers and measured N₂O emission at distances of 50 and 150 cm from the tree stem (stump) before and after cutting. In addition, we inferred the effects of logging on the emission using a hierarchical Bayesian (HB) model. Our results showed that tree cutting stimulated N₂O emission from soil and that the increase in N₂O emission depended on the distance from the stem (stump); increase in N₂O emission was greater at 50 than at 150 cm from the stem. Tree cutting caused the estimated N₂O emission at 0–40 cm from the stem to double (the % increase in N₂O emission by tree cutting was 54%–213%, 95% predictive credible interval) when soil temperature was 25 °C and WFPS was 60%. Posterior simulation of the HB model predicted that 30% logging would cause a 57% (47%–67%) increase in N₂O emission at our study site (2000 trees ha⁻¹) considering only the effects of belowground changes by tree cutting during the measurement period.
