Abstract: Studies on the effect of soil water content on N2O production and emission indicated that different soil water contents induced different N2O fluxes. It was demonstrated by the technique of acetylene inhibition, that around the period of sowing when the climate was dry and soil water content was low,N2O production came from nitrification; after raining when soil water content was high, N2O production mainly came from denitrification; and at medium water content, a half of N2O emission came from nitrification, and another half from denitrification. It was suggested that the ways of N2O production from upland fields mainly depended on the control and regulation of soil water.
