Composting has the potential to mitigate methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from manure. The heterogeneous nature of emitting surfaces makes it difficult to quantify these emissions. CH4 and N2O fluxes measured using eight small chambers (0.72 m2) and a mega chamber (90 m2) were compared, and the effect of aeration on the fluxes during composting was studied. Two batches of compost were placed in three channels and 2-3 small flux chambers were deployed on each channel. The channels were enclosed by a building serving as a mega chamber. Chamber location significantly affected gas fluxes, pointing to strong spatial heterogeneity. Mean CH4 fluxes from the small chambers were similar or... |
