Gas chromatography vs. quantum cascade laser-based N₂O flux measurements using a novel chamber design [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
Recent advances in laser spectrometry offer new opportunities to investigate the soil–atmosphere exchange of nitrous oxide. During two field campaigns conducted at a grassland site and a willow field, we tested the performance of a quantum cascade laser (

Reviewing and analyzing shrinkage of peat and other organic soils in relation to selected soil properties

Vadose Zone Journal, 2023
Peat and other organic soils (e.g., organo‐mineral soils) show distinctive volume changes through desiccation and wetting. Important processes behind volume changes are shrinkage and swelling.

Underestimation of denitrification rates from field application of the ¹⁵N gas flux method and its correction by gas diffusion modelling [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2019
Common methods for measuring soil denitrification in situ include monitoring the accumulation of 15N-labelled N2 and N2O evolved from 15N-labelled soil nitrate pool in closed chambers that are placed on the soil surface. Gas diffusion is considered to be

Understanding the Impact of Liquid Organic Fertilisation and Associated Application Techniques on N₂, N₂O and CO₂ Fluxes from Agricultural Soils

Agriculture, 2022
The prediction of liquid manure effects on N transformations in soils and the associated N2O and N2 fluxes is poor because previous investigations have mostly excluded N2.

The legacy of one hundred years of climate change for organic carbon stocks in global agricultural topsoils

Scientific Reports, 2023
Soil organic carbon (SOC) of agricultural soils is observed to decline in many parts of the world. Understanding the reasons behind such losses is important for SOC accounting and formulating climate mitigation strategies.
