Short summary
A commercial dynamic chamber system is modified to measure reactive nitrogen and greenhouse gas fluxes of interest for climate and air quality. The system is optimized for high performance so that fluxes of surface-active gases like ammonia, or reactive gases like nitrogen dioxide, can be made robustly. Lab and field measurements demonstrate consistent fluxes with those from other in-situ agricultural soil reports, as these are expected hot spots of reactive nitrogen gas exchange.
