Denitrification in soils is a very complex phenomenon due to the multiple factors it depends on. Therefore, making accurate predictions has been an elusive task. In this study we measured N2O emissions daily during 7 days from a set of 20 undisturbed small soil cores that were subsequently scanned u...
