Abstract: MethodsMethod and techniques are described for automatedAutomation, automated measurements of greenhouse gasesGreenhouse Gases (GHGs) (GHGsGreenhouse Gases (GHGs)) in both the laboratory and the field. Robotic systems are currently available to measure the entire range of gases evolved from soils including dinitrogenDinitrogen (N2) (N2). These systems usually work on an exchange of the atmospheric N2Dinitrogen (N2) with heliumHelium (He) (He) so that N2Dinitrogen (N2) fluxes can be determined. Laboratory systems are often used in microbiology to determine kineticKinetics response reactions via the dynamics of all gaseous N species such as nitric oxideNitric oxide (NO) (NO), nitrous oxideNitrous oxide (N2O) (N2O), and N2Dinitrogen (N2). Latest HeHe incubation incubation techniques also take plants into account, in order to study the effect of plant--soil interactions on GHGsGreenhouse Gases (GHGs) and N2Dinitrogen (N2) production. The advantage of automatedAutomation, automated in-field techniques is that GHG emission rates can be determined at a high temporal resolution. This allows, for instance, to determine diurnal response reactions (e.g. with temperatureTemperature regulation, temperature) and GHGGreenhouse Gases (GHGs) dynamics over longer time periods.
