It was found that increase in CO2 concentration from 0.3 to 100\% CO2 increasingly retarded the rate of nitrification. No nitrification occurred at 100\% CO2. Nitrous oxide production associated with nitrification increased as CO2 increased from 0.3 to 2.6\% and tended to be greater as CO2 concentration increased to 73\%. At 100\% CO2, no N2O was produced during 7 days at 25?C} }
