Peer Review #3 of "Manure application increased denitrifying gene abundance in a drip-irrigated cotton field (v0.1)"
Abstract:Application of inorganic nitrogen (N) fertilizer and manure can increase nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions. We tested the hypothesis that increase in N 2 O flux from soils amended with manure reflects a change in bacterial community structure and, specifically, an increase in the number of denitrifiers. To test this hypothesis, a field experiment was conducted in a drip-irrigated cotton field in an arid region of northwestern China. Treatments included plots that were not amended (Control), and plots amended wit… Show more
