Overestimated nitrogen loss from denitrification for natural terrestrial ecosystems in CMIP6 Earth System Models

Abstract Denitrification and leaching nitrogen (N) losses are poorly constrained in Earth System Models (ESMs). Here, we produce a global map of natural soil 15N abundance and quantify soil denitrification N loss for global natural ecosystems using an isotope-benchmarking method. We show an overesti...
