Abstract
A micrometeorological technique has been used to measure the flux of ammonia and related gaseous nitrogen compounds into the atmosphere from a pasture grazed by sheep. During 3 weeks in late summer, the average daily flux density of nitrogen in these forms was 0.26 kilogram per hectare. This is a substantial part of the nitrogen turnover in grazed pastures.Keywords
