This study aimed to investigate the effects of biochar addition on the emission of greenhouse gases from farmland soil in semiarid
region. Through an in-situ experiments,the influence of sawdust biochar( J) and locust tree skin biochar( H) at three doses
( 1%,3%,and 5% of quality percentage) on CO2
,CH4 and N2O emissions were studied within the six months in the south of Ningxia
province. The results indicated that soil CO2 emission flux was slightly increased with the addition doses for both biochars,and the
averaged CO2 emission flux for sawdust and locust tree skin biochar was enhanced by 1. 89% and 3. 34% compared to the control,but
the difference between treatments was not statistically significant. The soil CH4 emission was decreased with the increasing of biochar
doses,by 1. 17%,2. 55%,4. 32% for J1,J3,J5 and 2. 35%,5. 83%,7. 32% for H1,H3,H5,respectively. However,the
difference was statistically significant only for J5,H3 and H5 treatments ( P < 0. 05) . Across addition doses,there was no apparent
effect on soil N2O emission. Our study indicated that the biochar has no significant influence on soil CO2 and N2O emissions within six
months in semi-arid region and can significantly influence soil CH4 emissions( P < 0. 05) . As for biochar type,the locust tree skin
biochar is significantly better than the sawdust biochar in terms of restraining CH4 emission( P = 0. 048) .
