| Abstract | Temperate forest surface soils at the varying distances from main trunks (e.g., Pinus koraiensis and Quercus mongolica) were used to study the effects of acetylene (C$_{2}$H$_{2}$) at low concentrations on nitrification, mineralization and microbial biomass N concentrations of the soils, and to assess the contribution of heterotrophic nitrification to nitrous oxide (N$_{2}$O) emissions from soils. The use of acetylene at partial pressures within a range from 10 to 100 Pa C$_{2}$H$_{2}$ in headspace gas gave a significant decrease in N$_{2}$O emission at soil moisture of c. 45% water-filled porosity space, and the decrease was almost the same in each soil after exposure of C$_{2}$H$_{2}$ at low concentrations. Heterotrophic nitrification could account for 21%–48% of total N$_{2}$O emission from each soil; the contribution would increase with increasing distances from the Pinus koraiensis trunks rather than from the Quercus mongolica trunks. Under the experimental conditions, the use of C$_{2}$H$_{2}$ at low concentrations showed no significant influence on soil microbial biomass N, net N mineralization and microbial respiration. However, 100 Pa C$_{2}$H$_{2}$ in headspace gas could reduce carbon dioxide (CO$_{2}$) emissions from soils. According to the rapid consumption of 10 Pa C$_{2}$H$_{2}$ by forest soils and convenience for laboratory incubations, 50 Pa C$_{2}$H$_{2}$ in headspace gas can be used to study the origin of N$_{2}$O emissions from forest soils under aerobic conditions and the key associated driving mechanisms. The N$_{2}$O and CO$_{2}$ emissions from the soils at the same distances from the Quercus mongolica trunks were larger than those from the Pinus koraiensis trunks, and both emissions decreased as the distances from trunks increased. The stepwise regression analysis showed that 95% of the variability in soil CO$_{2}$ emissions could be accounted for by the concentrations of soil total C and water soluble organic C and soil pH, and that 72% of the variability in soil N$_{2}$O emissions could be accounted for by the concentrations of soil total N, exchangeable NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$-N and microbial biomass N and 25% of the variability in heterotrophic nitrification by the soil microbial biomass N concentration. The emissions of N$_{2}$O and CO$_{2}$ from forest soils after exposure of C$_{2}$H$_{2}$ at low concentrations were positively related to the net nitrification of the soils. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
