| Description | A prevalence of diurnal pattern in-phase with diurnal fluctuation of soil temperature and/or solar irradiance was found in a systematic review of papers with sub-daily nitrous oxide (N2O) flux measurements. |
| Exploitation Route | In-phase diurnal patterns of nitrous oxide emissions suggest that the current cumulative N2O emission estimation technique (i.e. daily to weekly measurements) is insufficient to accurately measure the emissions. An over- or underestimation of cumulative N2O emission might be resulted. Other diurnal variables such as soil temperature or solar irradiance could be incorporated into N2O prediction models, if proven to be drivers of the diurnal variability of N2O emissions. |
