Linking potential greenhouse gas and nitric oxide fluxes to soil microbial communities in incubation experiments with soil from the SAFE landscape

Description:

Controlled lab experiment to measure potential GHG emissions and associated parameters from SAFE soil. Soil taken Nov 2016, lab experiment carried out Apr-May 2017. Day 0 is before fertilisation, day 1 application of NH4NO3 solution to simulate N deposition of approx. 5 kg N ha-1 y-1 . Day 15 for (OP2,OP7 and RR) application of NH4NO3 solution to simulate N deposition of approx 50 kg N ha-1 y-1.
