The study reveals significant impacts of different land-use practices, groundwater table depths, and salinity levels on greenhouse gas emissions, with pasture having the highest emissions and short rotation willow the lowest. Emissions of CO2 and CH4 decreased under high salinity treatments, while N2O emissions increased.
Land-use practices can alter shallow groundwater and salinity, further impacting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly in the hydrologically dynamic riparian zones of wetlands. Emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2O were estimated in soil cores collected from two prairie pothole region (PPR) sites with three adjacent land-use practices (i.e., annual crop = AC, pasture = PA, and short rotation willow = SRW) and treated with declining water table depths (2 to 26 cm), and salinity (S0 = control, S1 = 6 mS cm(-1), and S2 = 12 mS cm(-1)) in a microcosm experiment. Land-use practices significantly (p < 0.001) affected GHG emissions in soils from both sites in the order of PA > AC = SRW. Compared to the control, emissions of CO2 and CH4 were significantly lower under higher salinity treatments (i.e., S1 and S2), while N2O was significantly higher (p < 0.05). Emissions under declining groundwater table depths were significantly (p < 0.001) variable and specific to each gas, indicating the impacts of shifted soil moisture regime. Overall, the CO2 and CH4 emissions increased up to week four and then decreased with declining water table depths, whereas N2O emission increased up to a maximum at week six. The soils from SRW had considerably lower global warming potential compared to AC and PA. Groundwater salinity in soils from contrasting land-use in the PPR has significant impacts on GHG emissions with potential for crucial climate feedback; however, the magnitude and direction of the impacts depend on hydrology.
