Abstract
After obtaining data on the activity of agriculture and animal husbandry by field investigation and from statistical data, an inventory of ammonia emission from agriculture and animal husbandry in Lanzhou was established based on literature investigation to determine the emission factors. The emission factor related to the application of nitrogen fertilizer was calculated using the NARSES model. The spatiotemporal distribution of the amount of ammonia emission was also analyzed. The total amount of ammonia emission from agriculture and animal husbandry was 9 356.90 t. Among this emission, the amount from livestock and poultry was 7 584.03 t, accounting for 81.05%. Yongdeng County was the region with the largest amount of ammonia emission, which was 2 820.59 t, accounting for 30.14%. Considering the sharing rate of ammonia emissions in all districts and counties, the sharing rates of livestock and poultry were between 65.83% and 97.38%; and the sharing rates for nitrogen fertilizer application were between 2.27% and 28.66%. From the perspective of spatial distribution, the sources of ammonia emissions from agriculture and animal husbandry were mainly concentrated in the northwest and central parts of Gaolan County, the southeast of Honggu District, the east and west of Qilihe District, and the east of Yuzhong County. From the perspective of temporal distribution, the ammonia emissions from livestock and poultry were higher from April to September. The emission from nitrogen fertilizer application was higher from March to September, except in August.
