Amorphous silica reduces N2O emissions from arable land at the field plot scale by Mathias Hoffmann, Oscar Rodrigo Monzon Diaz, Isabel Zentgraf, Wael Al-Hamwi, Maren Dubbert, Mathias Stein, Maire Holz, Jörg Schaller, Jörg Schaller

“…Most recently it has been shown that ASi is increasing water and nutrient availability in soils. Both factors are known to directly and indirectly affect N2O emissions from agroecosystems.MethodsIn this study we conducted a field plot trial on arable soil depleted in ASi and fertilized this soil to its pre-agricultural ASi level.ResultsOur data clearly shows that increasing soil ASi to a pre-agricultural level decreased seasonal N2O emissions by ∼30%.DiscussionThis reduction of N2O emissions due to ASi might be of global relevance as agricultural practice has reduced the ASi content in agricultural soils. …”
