Abstract

Nitrate labeled with ¹³N (¹³NO₃ ^-) was produced in a cyclotron by the ¹⁶O(p, α) ¹³N reaction with protons having energies of 14.5 million electron volts. The ¹³NO₃^- was used as a tracer for direct quantitative measurements of denitrification rates in soils from flooded rice fields. The ¹³N technique provides a new tracer method for the measurement of denitrification rates in natural systems over short time intervals, without changing the concentration of NO₃^- in the system.
