【Objective】This study aims to evaluate how different mulching management practices affect soil physicochemical properties, N₂O emissions, and their temperature sensitivity in Lei bamboo (Phyllostachys violascens ‘Prevernalis’) stands. Understanding these effects is crucial for developing sustainable bamboo management strategies that mitigate N₂O emissions and promote the long-term sustainability of the bamboo industry.【Method】Four mulching regimes were examined: rice husk mulching for eight years followed by two years of abandonment, fertilized for eight years (S1); continuous rice husk mulching for ten years under optimized age structure and planting density, fertilized for ten years (S2); rice husk mulching for five years followed by five years of abandonment, fertilized for eight years (S3); and no mulching(CK). Soil physicochemical properties were analyzed across different soil depths. N₂O emission rates and temperature sensitivity (Q₁₀) were determined using laboratory incubation under controlled temperature gradients, and annual N₂O emissions were subsequently estimated.【Result】Mulching management significantly modified soil properties in P. violascens ‘Prevernalis’ stands. Compared with the control, mulching decreased bulk density while increasing soil pH and nutrient contents in the 0-10 cm layer, with the greatest improvements observed under S3. Soil water content (SWC), soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) in S3 were significantly higher than those under other treatments. Among the treatments, S1 showed the highest sensitivity to N₂O emissions, exhibiting significantly greater cumulative N₂O fluxes in the 0-10 cm layer than the other treatments, while S3 had the highest cumulative N₂O emissions in the ≥10-20 and ≥20-30 cm layers. The cumulative N₂O emissions of S2 and CK did not differ significantly across soil depths. The Q₁₀ values of N₂O emissions ranged from 1.22 to 6.38, with the highest under S1 (2.84 and 6.38 in the 0-10 and ≥10-20 cm layers, respectively) and the lowest under CK (1.35 and 1.22). Estimated annual N₂O emissions were also greatest under S1 and lowest under S2 in the 0-10 cm layer. Across all treatments, N₂O emission rates in the 0-10 and ≥10-20 cm layers were positively correlated with soil temperature but negatively correlated with bulk density. SOC showed the strongest positive correlation with N₂O emissions (R = 0.70).【Conclusion】Mulching practices increased both N₂O emissions and their temperature sensitivity (Q₁₀). Among the different management regimes, continuous rice husk mulching (S2) with appropriate stand density and age structure resulted in relatively low N₂O emissions while maintaining high productivity. This indicates that S2 represents an environmentally friendly and sustainable management strategy for P. violascens ‘Prevernalis’ cultivation.
