Abstract

Abiotic release of nitrous acid (HONO) in equilibrium with soil nitrite (NO2(-)) was suggested as an important contributor to the missing source of atmospheric HONO and hydroxyl radicals (OH). The role of total soil-derived HONO in the biogeochemical and atmospheric nitrogen cycles, however, has rem...
