Rate of denitrification and stoichiometry of its products in fluvo‐aquic Cambisols for sterilized and unsterilized incubations

There has been an increase in studies suggesting that both biotic and abiotic (i.e. chemical) denitrification in soil contribute to nitrate (NO 3 − ) loss and nitrogenous gas (NO, N 2 O and N 2 ) emissions, and that rates of reaction and stoichiometry of products depend on soil pH. However, their relative importance and product composition have not been addressed simultaneously, limiting our understanding on their in‐situ coupling pathways and...
