Popis: | A method using an interfaced gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) is described for measuring the amount of N₂O and N₂ derived during denitrification from tagged ¹⁵NO₃⁻ and from ¹⁴NO₃⁻, the latter of which is produced during mineralization of soil organic matter. More mineralization and less denitrification was noted with the respective order related to air-filled pore content: 10%, 5%, 0 (saturated). Denitrification measured directly from the cumulative emissions of N₂O and N₂ was considerably underestimated by comparison to measuring denitrification by loss of ¹⁵NO₃⁻. |
