GRS 2024 (Lillian Hearn) - Relationship between soil moisture and carbon availability on denitrification potential in dryland cropping…
Tracing the fate of fertiliser nitrogen (N) in Victorian cropping systems has revealed that up to 54% of applied N is 'unaccounted' for at crop maturity. Denitrification is suspected to be the dominant mechanism driving N loss in these…- Project start date:
