Abstract: 【Objective】 Under equal N rates, chemical fertilizer was compared with organic fertilizer in terms of the emission of GHG (CO2 and N2O) and GWP to properly understand the contribution of chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in the field. The present research will be helpful in establishing GHG emission reduction measures.【Method】In a 8 year field experiment, CO2 and N2O emission flux from the Fluvo-aquic soil of summer maize were measured for 5 months (from June to October in 2014) by using a static chamber-gas chromatograph technique, and GHG effect and total season emission were also estimated. 【Result】Both the chemical fertilizer treatments and the organic fertilizer treatments had similar N2O emission curves. A temporary peak of N2O emission flux occurred after fertilization, and then the curves became stable. Under equal N rates, the N2O flux of chemical fertilizer treatments were significantly higher than that of organic fertilization treatments, but organic fertilization treatments were higher than chemical fertilizer treatments in a stable phase after the peaks. Chemical fertilizer had little influence on CO2 emission curves. Continuous peaks of CO2 emission flux occurred after application of organic fertilization. Both the organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer can increase the emission of N2O. The emission of N2O increased with the increase of nitrogen application. Under equal N rates, total N2O emissions of chemical fertilizer treatments were significantly higher than organic fertilizer treatments. Application of organic fertilizer significantly increased CO2 emissions, but the effect of chemical fertilizer on CO2 emissions were not significant. When the N fertilizer rate was 240 kg·hm-2 , both the chemical fertilizer treatments and organic fertilizer treatments had high level yields and a minimum GHGI, that were 0.27, 0.63 kg·hm-2. Treatments with a higher N rates than 240 kg·hm-2 had large GHGI values.【Conclusion】Application of more chemical or organic fertilizer would increase the emission of more greenhouse gas. Due to the carbon sequestration effect of the organic fertilizer, organic fertilizer treatments had smaller GHGI values than chemical fertilizer treatments, the suitable rate of organic fertilizer was an important solution to sequestrate carbon and reduced GHG emission.
