Abstract

Introduction

• Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas, accounting for 6% of net radiative forcing²
• Cropland nitrous oxide emissions primarily result from denitrification, an anerobic process³
• Iron redox status could be a useful proxy for soil microsite anoxia, and thus might be useful predictor of denitrificationdriven soil N2O emissions⁴
