 Abstract: Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas contributing to stratospheric ozone depletion with major sources that derive from soils. Most measurements were performed at well-aerated or anaerobic sites, excluding common hydromorphic soils (e.g., Gleysols). The main thesis of this study was that the intermediate aeration of such soils promotes N2O emissions. The investigated catena "Wildmooswald,'' which is little more than 200 m long, includes common temperate forest soils (n=7) of three aeration categories (Cambisols, Gleysols, and Histosol). The influence of fluctuating water tables of the Gleysols led to distinctively higher N2O release compared to the Cambisol within the same mature Norway spruce ecosystem. Even a stable "hot spot'' of N2O emissions was detected at a Histosol, where artificial drainage created a redox environment comparable to the Gleysols. Ranking the soils according to emission rate results in fairly regular doubling steps; for example, mean annual flux rates in kg N ha(-1) yr(-1) for the 2.5 years of measurements were -0.1, 0.4, 1.0, 1.9/1.9, 3.2, and 6.4 for Fibric Histosol, Chromic Cambisol, Endoskeletic Cambisol, Histic Gleysol 1/2, Humic Gleysol, and Sapric Histosol, respectively. The annual emission rates (0.93 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1)) of the predominant Cambisols (63.4% of the area) are comparable to other studies, but only 34.3% of intermediately aerated soils led to a redoubling of the average to 1.86 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1), which is clearly higher than previously presented from temperate forests. Therefore N2O releases of soils are underestimated if soils having intermediate aeration conditions are left unconsidered. [References: 42]
