Isotopic partitioning of gaseous nitrogen emissions of natural terrestrial ecosystems
We estimated the emissions of different forms of gaseous nitrogen (N) from natural terrestrial ecosystems using newly upscaled soil δ ^15 N maps, data-constrained gas partitioning models, and incorporating the previously missing N input flux from rock weathering. The emissions for nitrous oxide (N _2 O), nitric oxide (NO) and dinitrogen (N _2 ) are estimated at 12 ± 3, 19 ± 4, and 12 ± 3 Tg N yr ^−1 , respectively. The Sixth Phase of Coupled Intercomparison Model Project (CMIP6) models tend to overestimate total gaseous N emissions and thus N _2 O emissions. Correcting these total gaseous N emissions to match soil δ ^15 N maps and applying gas partitioning models, the CMIP6 models’ N _2 O emission estimates drop to 7 ± 2 Tg N yr ^−1 , consistent with this study and N _2 O Model Intercomparison Project 2. Differences in gas partitioning models also contribute significantly to uncertainties in N _2 O emission estimates. This study underscores the need for improved modeling of gaseous N emissions and partitioning in CMIP6 models to better understand the responses and feedbacks of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change.
