Changes of gaseous biogeochemical parameters in the non-fertilized (white bars; NF) and N-fertilized (black bars; N) paddy soil slurries treated with ferrihydrite (FER), goethite (GOE) and control (CTR) after 4-day incubation. (a–f) The concentrations of CH4 (a) and CO2 (b), 13C atom percentage of CH4 (c) and CO2 (d), the concentrations of 13CH4 (e) and 13CO2 (f) at the end of 4-day incubation. The different capital letters above the horizontal line denote significant differences among FER, GOE and CTR treatments at P<0.05 regardless of fertilization practices. The error bars represent the standard deviations of three replications.
