Fate of urine nitrogen applied to peat and mineral soils from grazed pastures
(Lincoln University, 1994)
This study has provided fundamental information on the fate of urine nitrogen (N)
when applied to pasture soils. In this work the three pasture soils used were a
Bruntwood silt loam (BW), an old well-developed (lime and ...
Comparison of measured and EF5-r derived N₂O fluxes from a spring-fed river
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)
There is considerable uncertainty in the estimates of indirect N₂O emissions as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) methodology. Direct measurements of N₂O yields and fluxes in aquatic river ...
Dissolved organic nitrogen : an overlooked pathway of nitrogen loss from agricultural systems?
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2009)
Conventional wisdom postulates that leaching losses of N from agriculture systems are dominated by NO₃⁻. Although the export of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) into the
groundwater has been recognized for more than 100 ...
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 ...
Unweathered wood biochar impact on nitrous oxide emissions from a bovine-urine-amended pasture soil
(Soil Science Society of America, 2010)
Low-temperature pyrolysis of biomass produces a product known as biochar. The incorporation of this material into the soil has been advocated as a C sequestration method. Biochar also has the potential to influence the ...
Diurnal fluctuations of dissolved nitrous oxide (N₂O) concentrations and estimates of N₂O emissions from a spring-fed river: implications for IPCC methodology
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
There is uncertainty in the estimates of indirect nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The uncertainty is due to the challenge and dearth of in situ measurements. ...
Dynamics of nitrous oxide in groundwater at the aquatic-terrestrial interface
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007-04-10)
Few data are available to validate the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's emission factors for indirect emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O). In particular the N₂O emissions resulting from nitrogen leaching and the ...
Soil respiratory quotient determined via barometric process separation combined with nitrogen-15 labeling
(Soil Science Society of America, 2004)
The barometric process separation (BaPS) and ¹⁵N dilution techniques were used to determine gross nitrification rates on the same soil cores from an old grassland soil. The BaPS-technique separates the O₂ consumption into ...
Real-time, high-resolution quantitative measurement of multiple soil gas emissions : selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2002)
A new technique is presented for the rapid, high-resolution identification and quantification of multiple trace gases above soils, at concentrations down to 0.01 µL L⁻¹ (10 ppb). The technique, selected ion flow tube mass ...
