Measurement of nitrogen and nitrous oxide emission in intact soil columns with control of waterlogging in an automated incubation system

From the BESTLAND project two publications have recently appeared as part of the doctoral thesis of Dr. Björn Kemmann.

Laboratory experiments with maize and cup plant soil, showed that waterlogging promoted N2 and N2O emissions. In contrast to the field test, the cup plant soil showed higher emissions in the laboratory. N2 emission was lower than expected under waterlogging, but it could not be excluded that gas accumulated in the waterlogged zone was incompletely captured.
