Abstract

CHEMICAL decomposition of nitrite in soil1-7 resembles microbial denitrification by producing gaseous end-products, N2 and N2O (refs. 8-11). NO and N2 are formed in sterile soil over a wide pH range12, and N2 is also formed in sterile aqueous solutions containing nitrite and iron13,14. We show here that NO, N2 and N2O are products of non-biological nitrite decomposition in soil. © 1970 Nature Publishing Group.
