“…Greater N 2 O reduction with the addition of root exudate has also been reported in previous studies(Lee et al, 2021a, Henry et al, 2008. For example, when root exudate was added to N 2 O-reducing consortia, the N 2 O reduction rate was 1.3-2.7 times higher than without the exudate(Lee et al, 2021a). The root exudate of maize and tall fescue contains various organic compounds such as sugars, amino acids, organic acids, fatty acids, alcohols, and phosphate(Naveed et al, 2017, Valé et al, 2005, Liu et al, 2015.…”
