Nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) enrichment play an important role in regulating soil N₂O emission, but their interactive effect remains elusive (i.e. whether the effect of P or N enrichment on soil N₂O emission varies between ambient and elevated soil N or P conditions). Here, we conducted a Bayesian meta-analysis across the global natural ecosystems to determine this effect. Our results showed that P enrichment significantly decreased soil N₂O emission by 13.9% at ambient soil N condition. This N₂O mitigation is likely due to the decreased soil NO₃⁻-N content (−17.6%) derived by the enhanced plant uptake when the P limitation was alleviated by P enrichment. However, this P-induced N₂O (and NO₃⁻-N) mitigation was not found at elevated soil N condition. Additionally, N enrichment significantly increased soil N₂O emission by 101.4%, which was associated with the increased soil NH₄⁺-N (+41.0%) and NO₃⁻-N (+82.3%). However, the effect of N enrichment on soil N₂O emission did not differ between ambient and elevated soil P subgroups, indicating that the P-derived N₂O mitigation could be masked by N enrichment. Further analysis showed that manipulated N rate, soil texture, soil dissolved organic nitrogen, soil total nitrogen, soil organic carbon, soil pH, aboveground plant biomass, belowground plant biomass, and plant biomass nitrogen were the main factors affecting soil N₂O emission under N enrichment. Taken together, our study provides evidence that P enrichment has the potential to reduce soil N₂O emission from natural ecosystems, but this mitigation effect could be masked by N enrichment.
