Assuming that the soil cover is the primary N2O source from landfills, this study tested, during a four-year project, the hypothesis that the proper use of chosen soils with fine texture minimizes N2O emissions. A full-scale sanitary landfill, a full-scale bioreactor landfill and a cell planted with Nerium indicum or Festuca arundinacea Schreb, at the Hangzhou Tianziling landfill in Hangzhou City were the test sites. The N2O emission rates from all test sites were considerably lower than those reported in the published reports. Specifically, the N2O emission rate was dependent on soil water content and nitrate concentrations in the cover soil. The effects of leachate recirculation and irrigation were minimal. Properly chosen cover soils applied to the landfills reduced N2O flux. © 2008 The Research Centre for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences.application/pdf180885 bytesapplication/pdfen-UScover soil; environmental factors; leachate; municipal solid waste landfill; N2O flux; nitrification/denitrification[SDGs]SDG11[SDGs]SDG12Land fill; Nitrates; Nitrogen oxides; Soil moisture; Solid wastes; Municipal solid waste; Nitrous oxide; Emission control; Emission control; Land fill; Nitrates; Nitrogen oxides; Soil moisture; Solid wastes; bioreactor; environmental factor; landfill; leachate; municipal solid waste; nitrification; nitrogen dioxide; soil cover; Asia; China; Eurasia; Far East; Hangzhou; Zhejiang; Festuca arundinacea; Nerium; Nerium oleander; carbon; nitrate; nitrogen; nitrous oxide; quaternary ammonium derivative; water; air pollutant; air pollution; article; China; environmental monitoring; methodology; soil; waste disposal; Air Pollutants; Air Pollution; Carbon; China; Environmental Monitoring; Nitrates; Nitrogen; Nitrous Oxide; Quaternary Ammonium Compounds; Refuse Disposal; Soil; Waterjournal article10.1016/S1001-0742(08)60030-3http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/90107/1/138.pdf
