Nitrogen fertilizer and crop residue are important sources of N2O emission in agricultural ecosystems. This study aims to investigate N2O emission and microbial N2O production process after potato crop residue input and fertilizer application to an Andosol field. The experiment comprised crop residue treatments as follows: with residue (WR) and without residue (NR). We measured N2O emission, N2O isotopomer ratios (bulk N isotope ratios and intramolecular 15N site preference), and environmental parameters to estimate microbial N2O production processes. Comparative analysis of N2O isotopomer ratios and environmental parameters suggested that nitrification and bacterial denitrification were main N2O production processes after N application. Nitrifier denitrification would also contribute to N2O production after N application. In contrast, bacterial denitrification and fungal denitrification were important N2O production processes in the WR treatment after crop residue input, while nitrification also contributed to N2O production. Fungal denitrification was possibly important process during N2O peak after crop residue input. These findings reveal that real-time measurements of N2O isotopomers performed using a quantum cascade laser spectrometry system are useful for estimating microbial N2O production on a field scale.
