In this article, we briefly review the disciplinary researchon soil emissions of N2O and NO. We describe a mechani s ti c a lly based con ceptual model—the “h o l e - i n - t h e -pipe” (HIP) model (Firestone and Davidson 1989)—thatintegrates the results of these disciplinary studies and thatrelates emissions of both nitrogen oxides to common soilprocesses. We then test the model predictions, using datafrom our recent studies in Costa Rica (Veldkamp et al.1999), Brazil (Verchot et al.1999),and Puerto Rico (Erickson,etal. in press) and additional data from the literaturefor forest ecosystems throughout the world.
