A research paper by ERG group member Danielle Green published in Frontiers in Environmental Science examines the effects of winter pulsed warming and snowmelt on nitrogen cycling in agricultural soils. The field-scale lysimeter experiment results show that increased winter pulsed warming and snowmelt over the non-growing season causes increased loss of nitrogen from agricultural soils as nitrous oxide emissions in silt loam soils and nitrate leaching in loamy sand soils. Co-authors include Fereidoun Rezanezhad, Sean Jordan, Claudia Wagner-Riddle, Hugh Henry, Steph Slowinski, and Philippe Van Cappellen. The paper can be accessed here.
