Ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions as affected by nitrification and urease inhibitors

Abstract Nitrogen (N) gaseous losses have environmental and economic implications. Ammonia (NH3) volatilization and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from a volcanic soil were concurrently quantified using intact lysimeters, after application of the equivalent to 100 kg N ha-1 with and without urease (N...
