Microbial mechanisms underlying the reduction of N2O emissions from submerged plant covered system by Yongxia Huang, Min Deng, Shuni Zhou, Yunpeng Xue, Senbati Yeerken, Yuren Wang, Lu Li, Kang Song

“…By comparing the N2O net emission rates from water, sediment, and biofilms, we identified biofilms as the primary medium responsible for the reduction in N2O emissions in both SP and NSP systems. Further analysis of N2O metabolic rates from nitrification, denitrification, and abiotic processes under light and dark conditions confirmed that counter-diffusion of dissolved oxygen and nutrients in SP biofilms plays a key role in reducing denitrification-driven N2O emissions. …”
