Effects of Drying-Rewetting Cycles on Ferrous Iron-Involved Denitrification in Paddy Soils

Soil moisture status has an important effect on the process of denitrification in paddy soils. However, it is unclear how it affects the ferrous iron-involved denitrification. Here, the influence of drying-rewetting cycles on ferrous iron-involved denitrification in paddy soil were studied with batc...
