| Research Abstract |
Increase in nitric oxide (NO) emission from forest soils poses a risk of adverse effect on forest ecosystem, because it may cause increases in acid deposition and ozone production. In this study, to determine the NO production potential in forest soils, a new method was developed. NO production potential measured in nitrogen saturated forest suggested that forest soil had a high potential for an emission source of atmospheric NO. Additionally, this method facilitated the measurements ofδ15N of NO emitted from soils
