Nitrogen Transformations and Nitrous Oxide Flux in a Tropical Deciduous Forest in México

Emissions of nitrous oxide and soil nitrogen pools and transformations were measured over an annual cycle in two forests and one pasture in tropical deciduous forest near Chamela, México. Nitrous oxide flux was moderately high (0.5-2.5 ng$\text{cm}^{-2}\text{h}^{-1}$) during the wet season and low (...
