Application of flow field-flow fractionation and laser sizing to characterize soil colloids in drained and undrained lysimeters.

abstract：:Agriculture in the midwestern United States is a major anthropogenic source of nitrous oxide (NO) and is both a source and sink for methane (CH), but the degree to which cropping systems differ in emissions of these gases is not well understood. Our objectives were to determine if fluxes of NO and CH varied among crop...
