Abstract Gross nitrification is an important turnover rate in the soil nitrogen cycle and one of the main sources of nitrous oxide (N2O) from soils. We measured gross nitrification and N2O-emissions in soil cores from three different treated fields (mineral (N) fertilizer, farmyard manure and control) with Barometric Process Separation (BaPS) weekly over a period of one year (2004). Black earth soil samples (5-10 cm depth) were collected at Bad Lauchstädt, Germany. Gross nitrification shows a strong seasonal dynamics at the tree field sites and 58 to 79% of the observed variation could be explained with soil moisture and soil temperature. N2O-emissions ranged from 0 to 0.3725 µg N h-1 kg-1 dried soil showing a high temporal variability. Mean emission rates are 0.062, 0.028 and 0.005 µg N h-1 kg-1 dried soil for manure fertilizer, mineral fertilizer and control, respectively. The N2O-emissions can not be explained by the assumption of a "hole in the pipe" as postulated by Firestone and Davidson (1989), neither when soil temperature nor soil moisture were taken into account.
