Abstract

Abstract Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a major greenhouse gas that is mainly produced but also reduced by microorganisms in soils. We determined factors for N and O isotope fractionation during the reduction of N 2 O to N 2 in soil in a flow‐through incubation experiment. The absolute value of the fracti...
