摘要

Nitrous oxide (N_2O) is an important greenhouse gas in which the main sources are tropical rainforest and agricultural soils. N_2O is produced in soils by microbial processes, which are enhanced by the application of nitrogenous fertilizers. The soil N_2O bulk isotopic composition (δ~(15)Nbulk and δ~(18)O) and the "site-specific," or intramolecular, ~(15)N isotopic composition, i.e., the 15N/14N ratio at the cenral or terminal nitrogen position, expressed in this study as δ~(15)N and δ~(15)N could help identify both the sources (natural and anthropogenic) and microbial pathways of N_2O production and consumption prior to emission.We report new isotope measurements of soil N 2O emissions and from soil air collected during the rainy season in a mature tropical forest (Tapajos National Forest, Para, Brazil) and in a tropical agricultural corn field ("Fundo Tierra Nueva," Gurico State, Venezuela). The statistically different δ~(15)Nbulk emission weighted average between the mature forest (-18.0‰ 4.0‰, n = 6) and agricultural corn field (-34.3‰ 12.4‰, n = 17) suggest that the δ~(15)Nbulk data are useful for distinguishing N_2O fluxes from fertilized agricultural and natural "background" soils. They also demonstrate that the site-specific δ~(15)N measurements have the potential to provide a new tool to differentiate between the production and consumption N_2O microbiological processes in soils. This study further demonstrates that the observed correlations (or lack thereof) between δ~(15)N, δ~(15)N, and δ~(18)O can be used to estimate the relative proportion of N_2O that would have been emitted to the air but was consumed via reduction of N_2O to N_2 within the soil.
