Abstract Background It is still not clear whether the effects of N deposition on soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are influenced by plantation management schemes. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of conventional management (CM) versus intensive management (IM), in combination with simulated N deposition levels of control (ambient N deposition), 30 kg N·ha − 1 ·year − 1 (N30, ambient + 30 kg N·ha − 1 ·year − 1 ), 60 kg N·ha − 1 ·year − 1 (N60, ambient + 60 kg N·ha − 1 ·year − 1 ), or 90 kg N·ha − 1 ·year − 1 (N90, ambient + 90 kg N·ha − 1 ·year − 1 ) on soil CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O fluxes. For this, 24 plots were set up in a Moso bamboo ( Phyllostachys edulis ) plantation from January 2013 to December 2015. Gas samples were collected monthly from January 2015 to December 2015. Results Compared with CM, IM significantly increased soil CO 2 emissions and their temperature sensitivity ( Q 10 ) but had no significant effects on soil CH 4 uptake or N 2 O emissions. In the CM plots, N30 and N60 significantly increased soil CO 2 emissions, while N60 and N90 significantly increased soil N 2 O emissions. In the IM plots, N30 and N60 significantly increased soil CO 2 and N 2 O emissions, while N60 and N90 significantly decreased soil CH 4 uptake. Overall, in both CM and IM plots, N30 and N60 significantly increased global warming potentials, whereas N90 did not significantly affect global warming potential. However, N addition significantly decreased the Q 10 value of soil CO 2 emissions under IM but not under CM. Soil microbial biomass carbon was significantly and positively correlated with soil CO 2 and N 2 O emissions but significantly and negatively correlated with soil CH 4 uptake. Conclusion Our results indicate that management scheme effects should be considered when assessing the effect of atmospheric N deposition on GHG emissions in bamboo plantations.
