Soil incubation study showed biogas digestate to cause higher and more variable short‐term N ₂ O and N ₂ fluxes than mineral‐N

Today, a large share of mineral fertilizer is substituted by biogas digestates. Biogas digestates are known to promote N 2 O production, compared to mineral fertilizer. In particular, the initial phase following fertilizer application is crucial for the N gas release as N 2 O and also N 2 . However, this period impact has been rarely investigated, especially not across various field sites. Thus, undisturbed soil cores from two fertilizer types...
