Denitrification Rate and Its Potential to Predict Biogenic N2O Field Emissions in a Mediterranean Maize-Cropped Soil in Southern Italy

Abstract: The denitrification rate in C2H2-amended intact soil cores and soil N2O fluxes in closed static chambers were monitored in a Mediterranean irrigated maize-cropped field. The measurements were carried out during: (i) a standard fertilization management (SFM) activity and (ii) a manipulation experimental (ME) test on the effects of increased and reduced application rates of urea at the late fertilization. In the course of the SFM, the irrigations following early and late nitrogen fertilization led to pulses of d… Show more

“…Among these, enhanced fertilizer use efficiency by crop is a promising tool for mitigating climate-altering gas emissions [24]. Better fertilizer use efficiency may be achieved through the development of fertilizers added with specific inhibitors of biological transformations occurring in the soil, particularly nitrification [5].…”

“…The contribution of denitrification to total N 2 O fluxes was evaluated by the acetylene inhibition technique (AIT). Soil samples were collected near autochambers at 0.0-0.10 m depth by a PVC cylinder and put into a homemade PVC incubator [5]. The head-space of the incubator was filled with C 2 H 2 to inhibit the nitrification and samples incubated for 6 h at ambient temperature [5].…”
