We describe an approach for determining biological N2production in soils based on the proportions of naturally occurring15N15N in N2. Laboratory incubation experiments reveal that biological N2production, whether by denitrification or anaerobic ammonia oxidation, yields proportions of15N15N in N2that are within 1‰ of that predicted for a random distribution of15N and14N atoms. This relatively invariant isotopic signature contrasts with that of the atmosphere, which has15N15N proportions in excess of the random distribution by 19.1 ± 0.1‰. Depth profiles of gases in agricultural soils from the Kellogg Biological Station Long-Term Ecological Research site show biological N2accumulation that accounts for up to 1.6% of the soil N2. One-dimensional reaction-diffusion modeling of these soil profiles suggests that subsurface N2pulses leading to surface emission rates as low as 0.3 mmol N2m–2d–1can be detected with current analytical precision, decoupled from N2O production.
