A method of reducing the swell potential of an expansive clayey soil comprising expansive clay mineral(s) at a proportion of the total weight of the expansive clayey soil (P.sub.ECM). The method includes (a) calculating a first amount of a swelling reduction agent to be incorporated into the expansive clayey soil to form a first swelling reduction agent incorporated expansive clayey soil with a reduced swell potential no greater than a pre-set level T with a nano-level constitutive modeling based on the water content and the CEC of the expansive clayey soil and P.sub.ECM. The swelling reduction agent is at least one selected from calcite, gypsum, potassium chloride, a composition comprising exchangeable K.sup.+, a composition comprising exchangeable Ca.sup.2+, and/or a composition comprising exchangeable Mg.sup.2+, and (b) incorporating the first amount of the swelling reduction agent into the expansive clayey soil to form the first swelling reduction agent incorporated expansive clayey soil.

The present disclosure provides a greenhouse gas emission reduction method for a heavy metal contaminated soil, falling within the technical field of emission reduction of greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. Specifically, hydroxyapatite (HAP) is added to a soil to effectively reduce the emission of nitrous oxide in the soil, and at the same time, the treatment of heavy metal contamination is realized, which is very suitable for the promotion and use of nitrous oxide emission reduction in the contaminated soil.
