description Abstract A sustainable future depends on increasing agricultural carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) sequestration. Winter rapeseeds are facing severe yield loss after waterlogging due to the effects of extreme rainfall, especially in the seedling stage, where rainfall is most sensitive. Uncertainty exists over the farming greenhouse gas (GHG) release of rapeseed seedlings following the onset of waterlogging. The effect of waterlogging on GHG release and leaf gas exchange in winter rapeseed was examined in a pot experiment. The experiment included waterlogging treatments lasting 7-day and 21-day and normal irrigation as a control treatment. According to our findings, (1) The ecosystem of rapeseed seedlings released methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in a clear up change that was impacted by ongoing waterlogging. Among them, N2O release had a transient rise during the early stages under the effect of seedling fertilizer. (2) The net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, plant height, soil moisture, and soil oxidation–reduction potential of rapeseed all significantly decreased due to the ongoing waterlogging. However, rapeseed leaves showed a significant increase in intercellular carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and leaf chlorophyll content values after waterlogging. Additionally, the findings demonstrated an extremely significant increase in the sustained-flux global warming potential of the sum CO2-eq of CH4 and N2O throughout the entire waterlogging stress period. Therefore, continuous waterlogging can increase C and N release from rapeseed seedlings ecosystem and decrease yield. Therefore, we suggest increasing drainage techniques to decrease the release of agricultural GHGs and promote sustainable crop production.
