Acknowledgements

We thank Mark Aspin (New Zealand Pastoral Greenhouse Gas Research Consortium) for sharing the confidential report of Suter et al. (2006), Warwick Catto (Ballance Agri-nutrients) for explaining the composition of DCn^TM and Jeff Morton for delivering a sample, Cecile de Klein, Stewart Ledgard, Ross Monaghan and Chris Smith (AgResearch) for their confidential reports and the Tussock Creek soil temperature data, and Jamie Blennerhassett (Summit QuinPhos) for his trial data. Keith Cameron and Hong Di (Lincoln University) and Richard Christie and Ron Pellow (Ravensdown) kindly provided copies of their papers and soil temperature data from four of their trials. Freeman Cook (CSIRO Land and Water) kindly verified the assumptions required to estimate DCD diffusion in soils as well as the approximate rates computed, Jim Moir (Lincoln University) provided a copy of his publication – in press, Surinder Saggar (Landcare Research) reviewed a draft of this report and Hilton Furness (FertResearch) estimated the fractions of nitrogen fertiliser applied to land grazed by dairy cattle, beef cattle and sheep.
