Gross N2O emission and uptake in cropland agroforestry and monoculture systems

This data set includes data on gross N2O emission and uptake measured by 15N2O pool dilution, net N2O flux, CO2 emission, soil temperature, water-filled pore space, mineral N (NH4+ and NO3-), microbial biomass N and C, and denitrification gene abundance (nirK, nirS, nosZ clade I and II) were measured on three sites in Germany in cropland agroforestry and monocultures. Each site is represented by 4 replicates per land use, at the following distances from the tree row for agroforestry: 1m, 7m and 24m. Research domain: Soil Sciences Research question: Does agroforestry reduce gross N2O emission from the soil and increase gross N2O uptake from the atmosphere into the soil compared to monoculture system?
