【Objectives】The aim of this study was to investigate the emissions, global warming potential (GWP) and comprehensive emission intensity (CEI) of CH_4 and N_2O in paddy field under different irrigation methods and nitrogen treatments, so as to obtain irrigation method and nitrogen management for reducing CH_4 and N_2O emissions from paddy soil.【Methods】In 2015 and 2016, the field experiments of early rice and late rice were carried out in Nanning Irrigation Experimental Station. Two experiments had three irrigation methods, i.e. conventional irrigation (CIR), thin-shallow-wet-dry irrigation (TIR) and alternative drying and wetting irrigation (DIR), and two ratios of urea-N to pig manure-N, i.e. 100% urea-N (FM) and 50% urea-N and 50% pig manure-N (FM2). There were six treatments, i.e. CIR-FM1, TIR-FM1, DIR-FM1, CIR-FM2, TIR-FM2 and DIRFM2. CH_4 and N_2O fluxes during the rice-growing seasons were collected using static closed chamber method and determined using a gas chromatography. Accumulative emission and GWP of CH_4 and N_2O were analyzed and CEI of CH_4 and N_2O was the ratio of GWP of CH_4 and N_2O to rice yield.【Results】Compared to the FM1 treatment, FM2 treatment increases the early rice yield and total yields of late rice and early rice by 18.8% and 17.7% under DIR, respectively. Compared to CIR method, TIR and DIR methods increase the yield of early rice by 20.9% and 37.4%, respectively, and DIR method increases total yield of late rice and early rice by 21.5% under FM2. The CH_4 emission fluxes of late and early rice seasons in different treatments are high at the early growth stage and low at the late growth stage. During the rice-growing period, TIR and DIR methods have lower accumulative CH_4 emission from paddy field than CIR method, and FM1 treatment has significantly lower accumulative CH_4 emission from paddy field than FM2 treatment. The N_2O emission flux is negative or low at the early growth stage, and the N_2O emission from paddy field is mainly concentrated in the dramatic water change period, such as re-watering after field drying and drying at the ripening period. DIR method has significantly higher accumulative N_2O emission from paddy field than CIR method, and FM1 treatment has lower accumulative N_2O emission than FM2 treatment. There was an increase and decline relationship of CH_4 and N_2O emissions from paddy field in different treatments. The contribution of CH_4 emission to the GWP of CH_4 and N_2O was more than 99% and the contribution of N_2O emission was less than 1%. FM1 treatment decreases mole warming potential CH_4 or N_2O, GWP and CEI of CH_4 and N_2O if compared to FM2 treatment under three irrigation methods, and TIR and DIR methods reduced GWP and CEI of CH_4 and N_2O when compared to CIR method under two nitrogen treatments.【Conclusions】Compared with CIR method, TIR method increases rice yield and N_2O emission from paddy field slightly but reduces CH_4 emission, GWP and CEI of CH_4 and N_2O from paddy field, and DIR method increases rice yield and N_2O emission from paddy field but reduces CH_4 emission, GWP and CEI of CH_4 and N_2O from paddy field. Thus TIR and DIR methods are two irrigation methods in reducing GWP and CEI of CH_4 and N_2O from paddy field effectively. Compared to combined application of pig manure and urea, single application of urea reduces GWP and CEI of CH_4 and N_2O from paddy field under the two irrigation methods.
