Year-round N<sub>2</sub>O production by benthic NO<sub>x</sub> reduction in a monomictic south-alpine lake

Nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) is a potent greenhouse gas, generated through microbial nitrogen (N) turnover processes, such as nitrification, nitrifier denitrification, and denitrification. Previous studies quantifying natural sources have mainly focused on soils and the ocean, but the...
