Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how different processes create a gas called N2O in wetland soils to see if restoration efforts were working.
- They found that restored wetlands produced more N2O than un-restored ones, mainly due to certain chemical reactions involving nitrification.
- The study showed that non-biological processes, like iron reactions, were more important for N2O production than biological ones and that temperature and water levels affected the process differently in soil.
The spatial distribution characteristics of Fe and Mn contents in soils of nine different vegetation communities, located in the new-born marshes of the northern Yellow River estuary, were studied in May 2009. The results showed that the horizontal distributions of Fe and Mn contents showed an increasing tendency from Sparganiaceae-Potentilla supina marsh to bare flat. The vertical distribution characteristics of Fe and Mn contents in different marsh soils fluctuated significantly with the vegetation succession.

From the aspect of space, the CH4 flux ranges in high tidal wetland, middle tidal wetland, low tidal wetland, bare flat are - 0.206-1.
