A 2-year field experiment in a Mediterranean vineyard on the California Central Coast was conducted to investigate the short-term effects of compost application at four different rates on soil C dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions. Two years of greenhouse gas sampling were performed using static chambers at vineyard management events in two functional locations (tractor row and under the vines). Soil samples were collected annually in spring at the same locations at 0–15, 15–30 and 30–60 cm depth, and during greenhouse gas sampling at 0–15 cm.
