Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a major greenhouse gas that is mainly produced but also reduced bymicroorganisms in soils. We determined factors for N and O isotope fractionation during thereduction of N2O to N2 in soil in a flow-through incubation experiment. The absolute value ofthe fractionation factors decreased with increasing reaction rate constant. Reaction rates constantsranged from 1.7 10S4 sS1 to 4.5 10S3 sS1. The minimum, maximum and median of the observedfractionation factors were for N S36.0%, S1.0% and S9.3% and for O S74.0%, S6.9% and S26.3%,respectively. The ratio of O isotope fractionation to N isotope fractionation was 2.4W0.3 and itwas independent from the reaction rate constants. This leads us to conclude that fractionationfactors are variables while their ratio in this particular reaction might be a constant.
