Abstract: The fluxes of N2O and CH4 from tundra soil, soddy forest soil, brown coniferous forest soil and dark brown forest soil on northern slope of Changbai Mountain are measured in situ by chamber technique from June and August, 1994.The results show that all of the soils studied are the source of N2O, and the sink of CH4.The N2O flux is in the range of 6.17 and 12.33 μg·m-2·h-1, while the CH4 flux is between -85.63 and -7.58μg·m-2·h-1.There is a trade-off between N2O emission and CH4 uptake.Laboratory experiments show that upper soil layer (0-6cm) has the highest denitrification activity, which has a significant difference among different soils.The uptake of CH4 by dark brown forest soil mainly occurs in upper soil layer (0-12cm).
