abstract = {RATIONALEThis study aimed (i) to determine the isotopic
fractionation factors associated with N2O production and
reduction during soil denitrification and (ii) to help
specify the factors controlling the magnitude of the isotope
effects. For the first time the isotope effects of
denitrification were determined in an experiment under oxic
atmosphere and using a novel approach where N2O production
and reduction occurred simultaneously.METHODSSoil
incubations were performed under a He/O2 atmosphere and the
denitrification product ratio [N2O/(N2 + N2O)] was
determined by direct measurement of N2 and N2O fluxes. N2O
isotopocules were analyzed by mass spectrometry to determine
δ18O, δ15N and 15 N site preference within the linear
N2O molecule (SP). An isotopic model was applied for the
simultaneous determination of net isotope effects (η) of
both N2O production and reduction, taking into account
emissions from two distinct soil pools.RESULTSA clear
relationship was observed between 15 N and 18O isotope
effects during N2O production and denitrification rates. For
N2O reduction, diverse isotope effects were observed for the
two distinct soil pools characterized by different product
ratios. For moderate product ratios (from 0.1 to 1.0) the
range of isotope effects given by previous studies was
confirmed and refined, whereas for very low product ratios
(below 0.1) the net isotope effects were much
smaller.CONCLUSIONSThe fractionation factors associated with
denitrification, determined under oxic incubation, are
similar to the factors previously determined under anoxic
conditions, hence potentially applicable for field studies.
However, it was shown that the η18O/η15N ratios,
previously accepted as typical for N2O reduction processes
(i.e., higher than 2), are not valid for all conditions.
