I conducted potential nitrous oxide emission assessment from soil samples following the method previously used by Zhong et al 2018. The samples were incubated for 48 hours, taking gas samples at 0, 24 and 48 hours respectively.
I have read the N2O concentrations from the gas samples collected using GC, and this data is available. Also, available is the soil-dry weight of the soil samples used in the assessment.
I feel somehow stuck at the procedure for final calculation of the potential N2O production using the available concentration readings from the GC.
Has anyone previously undertaken such, or a similar study, and can quickly unstuck me?
How do i proceed to determine the final N2O emitted from the soil samples ?
Thanks in advance
