The paper presents a study on a field application of an injection technique by means of infrared absorption spectroscopy: it focusses on the comparison of such novel application with the standard GC technique, both using static enclosures to measure N2O exchanges from the soil on the field.
The scientific methodology used is good, the graphics are clear and all good standard.
I think the results presented are useful for the scientific community, especially relevant to monitoring networks for non-CO2 GHG, where the usage of both micromet methods and enclosure mehods is required.
Some critical points were highlighted by the reviewers: the authors have subsequently provided the requested clarifications, and added specific material in the supplementary section, comments and to the main manuscript that, to my knowledge, address the raised issues.
I would personally like to thank the reviewers for the careful revising work, making it easy for me to proceed with the next step without their further intervention.
