Lime and soil moisture effects on nitrous oxide emissions from a urine patch
(Soil Science Society of America, 2004)
Liming has been mooted as a mitigation option for lowering soil N₂O emissions. This study investigated the effect of soil pH and soil water content on N₂O and N₂ emissions following the addition of synthetic urine (500 kg ...
Dairy farm effluent effects on urine patch nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide emissions
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2005)
Dairy farm effluent (DFE) comprises animal feces, urine, and wash-down water collected at the milking shed. This is collected daily during the milking season and sprayed onto grazed dairy pastures. Urine patches in grazed ...
Increasing soil aeration reduces mitigation efficacy of dicyandiamide when targeted at ruminant urine-derived N₂O emissions
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2015-10-11)
Soil aeration effects on the efficacy of dicyandiamide (DCD) at reducing reactive nitrous oxide (N₂O) fluxes from ruminant urine patches have not been assessed. We tested the null hypothesis that increasing soil aeration ...
Nitrous oxide emissions from in situ deposition of ¹⁵N-labeled ryegrass litter in a pasture soil
(Crop Science Society of America, Soil Science Society of America and American Society of Agronomy, 2013-03)
During pasture grazing, freshly harvested herbage (litterfall) is dropped onto soils from the mouths of dairy cattle, potentially inducing nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions. Although the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ...
Determining the nitrous oxide transfer velocity and emission factor of an agricultural drain
(Taylor & Francis Group on behalf of the Royal Society Te Aparangi, 2017-07-03)
There have been few studies examining indirect nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions (E N₂O ) associated with nitrogen (N) leaching from agricultural soils. For agricultural drainage water, N₂O equals the water’s E N₂O concentration ...
Soil aeration affects the degradation rate of the nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide
(CSIRO Publishing, 2015)
© CSIRO 2015. Dicyandiamide (DCD) is a nitrification inhibitor of variable efficacy. In soils, DCD biodegradation rate is known to be a function of temperature; however, microbial activity can also be affected by soil ...
