Summary
Soil cores incubated under air atmosphere with C2H2 at partial pressure of 0.1 kPa, reduced NO3 − to N2O. Glucose and nitrate at higher concentration stimulated the N2O production. Further reduction of N2O to N2 seemed to be temporarely inhibited. However after 12 h N2O concentrations decreased, irrespective of soil treatment.
