Question

Under what condition denitrification is a major mechanism of nitrogen loss from the soil?

A.

Well-drained soil

B.

Fallow soil

C.

Submerged soil

D.

Pastured land soil

Correct option is C


Denitrification occurs under anaerobic (oxygen-deficient) conditions, which are typical of submerged soils. Microorganisms convert nitrates into gaseous nitrogen (N₂ or N₂O), leading to nitrogen loss from the soil. This is common in paddy fields or waterlogged areas.
