Codenitrification is a reactive nitrogen (N) removal pathway producing hybrid dinitrogen (N2) by combining nitrite (NO2–) and a partner-N substrate. Abiotic codenitrification also produces hybrid N2through nitrosation of organic N by NO2–, but it is poorly constrained in soil N cycles. We determined the importance of abiotic codenitrification in soils and examined factors controlling abiotic codenitrification using live soils, sterile soils, and sterile solutions. Abiotic codenitrification in sterile soils ranged from 0.12 ± 0.001 to 0.60 ± 0.08 nmoles29N2-N g–1day–1, which accounts for 2.3 to 8.2% of total N2production measured in live soils. Increased abiotic N2production was observed in soils with the addition of an organic N partner (glutamine). Consistent with previous work, higher rates were observed in lower-pH soils, but the highest rate was found in the soil with the highest carbon:nitrogen (C:N) ratio. We further investigated a range of organic N partners and the influence of concentration and pH on abiotic codenitrification in solution. Similar to sterile soil incubations, abiotic29N2production was negatively correlated with increasing pH in solution. Greater rates of abiotic29N2production were measured as the substrate concentration increased and pH decreased. Solution experiments also showed that addition of organic N partners increased abiotic codenitrification rates, which are positively correlated with the C:N ratios of organic N partners. This is the first study demonstrating the importance of N removal through abiotic codenitrification in acidic soils and the C:N ratio of organic N partners as a controlling factor in abiotic codenitrification.
