Abstract:Denitrification remains widely recognized as a significant contributor to N2O emissions in upland arable soils. This study evaluated metal sulfates (MSs) and zero-valent metals (ZVMs) as potential alternative electron acceptors (EAs) to reduce N2O emissions through microcosm experiments, functional gene analyses, microbial profiling, isotope mapping, and field-based manipulation experiments. ZVMs increased N2O emissions, whereas MSs significantly reduced them mainly by inhibiting denitrification rather than af… Show more
