Soils are major sources and sinks of nitrous oxide (N2O). The main pathway of N2O emission is performed through soil denitrification; however, the uptake phenomenon in denitrification is overlooked, leading to an underestimation of N2O production. Soil moisture strongly influences denitrification rates, but exact quantifications coupled withnosZ,nirK, andnirSgene analysis remain inadequately unaccounted for. In this study, a15N-N2O pool dilution (15N2OPD) method was used to measure N2O production rates under different soil moisture levels. Therefore, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% soil water holding capacity (WHC) were used. The results revealed that N2O uptake rates increased proportionally with soil moisture content and peaked at 80% WHC with 4.17 ± 2.74 μg N kg−1soil h−1. The N2O production and net emission rates similarly peaked at 80% WHC, reading at 32.50 ± 4.86 and 27.63 ± 3.09 μg N kg−1soil h−1during the incubation period (18 days). Soil moisture content increased the gene copy number of thenosZ, NH4+content, and denitrification potential in soil. N2O uptake at WHC 80–100% was significantly greater than that at WHC 20–60%. It was attributed to a decrease in O2and the high NO3−concentration inhibition (> 50 mg N kg−1of soil NO3−-N content). Principal components analysis (PCA) indicated that the number ofnosZgenes was the major driver of N2O uptake, especiallynosZclade II. Thus, the results of this study deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning N2O sources and sinks in soils and provide a useful gene-based indicator to estimate N2O uptake.
