Yankelzon, I., Willibald, G., Dannenmann, M., Malique, F., Ostler, U., Scheer, C., Buttebach-Bahl, K., (2024). A new incubation system to simultaneously measure n₂ as well as n₂o and co₂ fluxes from plant-soil mesocosms. Biol Fertil Soils (2024). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00374-024-01809-w 

This study introduces a plant-soil mesocosm system capable of continuously measuring N2, N2O, and CO2 fluxes during plant cultivation. Through a 33-day experiment with germinated wheat plants, the system's effectiveness in assessing soil denitrification dynamics and CO2 respiration rates is demonstrated, showcasing its potential for advancing environmental research.
