Short summary
Nitrous oxide and methane are potent greenhouse gases that are both produced and consumed in soil. Using stable isotope tracers, we found that 68 % of nitrous oxide produced in soil was emitted to the atmosphere throughout the growing season in a cornfield despite variable soil conditions. Gross methane production and consumption were tightly coupled, resulting in near-zero net fluxes. Our results challenge our understanding of controls on nitrous oxide and methane dynamics in upland soils.
