Long-term fate of nitrate fertilizer in agricultural soils (2013, result): “The observed percentage of gaseous loss of fertilizer nitrogen is in good agreement with values reported in the literature (35).”
Nitrous oxide emissions from soils: how well do we understand the processes and their controls? (2013, background): “It is very well established that the acetylene inhibition method creates systematic and irreproducible underestimation of N2 production by denitrification under aerobic incubation conditions [16,41,42,43].”
Nitrous oxide emission from denitrification in stream and river networks (2010, background): “1A), possibly because our in situ measurements are not affected by the experimental artifacts and scaling problems associated with sediment slurries, cores, and chambers used in most previously published estimates (13).”
Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide fluxes from soil as influenced by anecic and endogeic earthworms (2008, methodology): “Despite the limitations of the acetylene inhibition method (Groffman et al., 2006), it remains a useful method for assessing the potential N2O production from soils and understanding the contribution of denitrification and nitrification processes to N2O emissions.”
Denitrification across landscapes and waterscapes: a synthesis. (2006, methodology): “Whether nitrification and denitrification within a system are tightly coupled, completely decoupled, or somewhere in between affects how we measure and model denitrification (Groffman et al. 2006).”
