abstract = {High N2O emissions have been observed in semi-arid
grasslands, especially during freeze/thaw periods, when
denitrification might be the main process of N2O production.
However, there have been few denitrification studies in
semi-arid grassland. This study was designed to determine
the denitrification potential of four representative land
cover types (typical steppe, meadow steppe, marshland, arid
steppe) in two grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China. We found
that soils from different land cover types exhibited
significantly different denitrification potentials, with
highest rates in marshland and lowest rates in arid steppe.
Denitrification potentials were maximal in the upper layer
and generally decreased with depth for all soils. Soil water
content, soil carbon and nitrogen availability, and C/N
ratio were found to be significantly correlated with
denitrification potentials in all soils. Addition of glucose
or/and nitrate significantly increased denitrification
activities throughout the profile for all soils, suggesting
that both bioavailable carbon and nitrogen were limiting
factors of denitrification in these grasslands soils.
However, further field studies are needed to translate the
denitrification potentials determined in laboratory
measurements to denitrification rates under field
conditions.},
