Abstract

Sweet air (N2O) is been measured every two weeks from a grassland under the coverage formed by
anthropogenic activity using the closed chamber technique. Different parameters of soil as inorganic
nitrogen, total nitrogen, organic nitrogen, soil pH, soil water contents etc was measured. On other hand the nitrogen mineralization capacity of the soil is measured which is responsible for controlling the sweet air flux. These are measured by in-vitro incubation to study the effects of these factors on sweet air. The annual mean of sweet air emissions were 3.81Kg/Hact/Yr with a high emission
rates in rainy season (1.76 Kg/Hact/Yr) than the summer season (1.09 Kg/Hact/Yr) and the least in
winter(0.96 Kg/Hact/Yr). the sampling technique also measures other parameters as NO3- nitrogen,
NH4+ nitrogen, NO2 nitrogen, and other soil variables which are not been co-related.
