Abstract: &【Objective】Field experiment was carried out to analyze and evaluate the effects of plastic film mulching pattern and row space on soil carbon emission and carbon balance of maize field in arid inland river irrigated area. The experimental results provided a reference for evaluating ecological effect of typical cropping systems and its key cultivating techniques in this area.【Method】Full-film mulching with uniform row (50 cm), full-film mulching with paired row (80 cm+40 cm), half-film mulching with uniform row (50 cm), half-film mulching with paired row (80 cm+40 cm) were layout in the year of 2013 and 2014. Dynamics of soil respiration rate and CO2-C emission during maize growth stage were to be measured by using portable Li-8100A (LI-COR). Carbon emission efficiency (CEE) and net ecology productivity (NEP) were used as indexes to estimate carbon sequestration intensity.【Result】Soil respiration rate was significantly affected by different film mulching pattern and row space, and it showed a single peak curve during the entire growth stage of maize. Full-film mulching treatments increased soil CO2 emission significantly, compared with half-film mulching treatments. The contribution rate of root CO2-C emission to soil total CO2-C emission varied from 18.8% to 77.2% between different film mulching pattern and row space treatments and its average was 49.1%. Half-film mulching with paired row space showed the highest CEE among the four cropping patterns, up to 2.64 kg·kg-1, which was 37.3% and 26.2% higher than that of full-film mulching with uniform row space and paired row space cropping pattern, respectively. Half-film mulching with paired row space showed the highest NEP in four cropping patterns, up to 7 446.2 kg C·hm-2, which was significantly higher than that of other three cropping patterns. 【Conclusion】Soil CO2 emission of maize cropland was affected significantly by different film mulching patterns and row spaces, and the four main maize crop systems were sinks of atmospheric CO2 in arid inland river irrigation area. Half-film mulching with paired row space showed the lowest carbon emission and the highest carbon sequestration intensity.
