Summary

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigating the pace of global warming are crucial to achieving a balance between economic development and ecological protection. However, research on GHG emissions from different types of artificial grasslands is limited. This study aimed to elucidate the dynamics of GHG emission fluxes in three types of artificial grasslands and natural saline meadow grassland (NG). Meteorological and soil data were collected to determine the correlations between GHG fluxes and environmental variables. All grasslands were sources of CO 2 and N 2 O. Artificial grasslands were sinks of CH 4 , whereas NG was a CH 4 source. FCO 2 was the main source of GHGs in grasslands. The average emissions of FCO 2 and FN 2 O in artificial grasslands were higher than those in NG
