Table 2 Annual average total CH4 and N2O emissions, SGWP, NEEP-sacled SGWP, and the emission factors (EF) of CH4 and N2O from the SP, RM and RS fields.

From: CH4 and N2O emissions increased following the conversion of aquaculture ponds to rice monoculture and rice–shrimp coculture fields in southeast China

  1. Values are means of replicates ± standard deviation (mean ± SD). Different superscripts in the same column indicate significant difference (P < 0.05). “/” means no data.
  2. aThe latest IPCC SGWP factors (mass basis) used here for CH4 and N2O are 45 and 270 over the time horizon of 100 years, respectively (IPCC, 2013)37.
  3. bThe NEEP-scaled SGWP refers to kg CO2 − eq per the net ecosystem economic profits (NEEP) of SP, RM and RS fields.
  4. cThe direct emission factor of C for CH(EF− C) was calculated by dividing the total CH4 emission by total input C (SP 1826 kg/ha, RM 2325 kg/ha, and RS 24115 kg/ha, respectively).
  5. dThe direct emission factor of N for N2O (EF− N) was calculated by dividing the total N2O-N emission by total input N (SP 889.56 kg/ha, RM 359.24, and RS 478.36, respectively.
  6. eDifferent letters in a single column indicate significant difference between fields at P < 0.05.
