Temporal variation of methanogenic pathways in rice fields under three different crop** systems
Taking fresh soil samples from a rice–wheat rotation field (RW), a permanently flooded rice field (PF), and a double-rice crop** field (DR: DRE for the early rice; DRL for the late rice), we measured the CH4 pr...

Inhibitory effect of high nitrate on N2O reduction is offset by long moist spells in heavily N loaded arable soils
Numerous interrelated factors (e.g., the labile C, soil NO3− concentration, and soil moisture content) are involved in controlling the microbial sources of N2O and the product stoichiometry of denitrification; ho...
