Abstract: The N2O flux from soybean plant measured by closed chamber method under field condition shows that there exist two peaks of N2O emission at soybean's seedling and flowering stages,respectively. The general pattern of diurnal variation in N2O flux from soybean plant is an emission peak in the morning and a valley in the afternoon,which is not altered by fertilization.The average N2O emission rates are 2.27 and 1.28 μgN2Om-2 ·h-1 for fertilized and control plots,respectively. Soybean plant has a lower N2O flux under strong light condition (in the level of 104lx), even absorbing the atmospheric N2O.But under weak light condition (in the level of 103~102lx),N2O flux from soybean plant is higher.
