title: [NO emission from winter wheat fields of rice-wheat rotation ecosystem in southeast China].
abstract: Measurements of NO emission from the winter wheat field of rice-wheat rotation ecosystem in southeast China during the whole period of wheat growth show that a higher NO emission was observed in spring than in autumn, and almost no emission in winter could be detected. Temperature was the most important factor determining the seasonal variation pattern of NO emission. Although the N fertilization might enlarge NO emission by a factor of 5-7, it could not modify the seasonal variation pattern. During the period of relatively weak plant activity, the diurnal variation pattern, with the maximum emission at 9:00-14:00, was determined by temperature. When plants luxuriated, however, the competition of NH4+ by plant uptake and by microbial nitrification led to a night-peak variation pattern, in which, the maximum diurnal emission usually occurred during 18:00 and 4:00 of next day, and the minimum at 8:00-16:00.
