Abstract
Methane (CH4) emissions from stored slurry were successfully measured by a micrometeorological mass balance technique. Emissions during autu mn to late winter ranged from 2 to 100 kg CH4-C ha(-1) day(-1). Diurna l variations of CH4 emissions were investigated by measuring emissions at several times during the day, correlated with slurry temperatures at 10 cm depth and successfully modelled with the Arrhenius equation.
