Hydrogen emission from nodulated soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and consequences for the productivity of a subsequent maize (Zea mays L.) crop

Hydrogen (H₂) is a by-product of the symbiotic nitrogen fixation (N₂ fixation) between legumes and root-nodule bacteria (rhizobia). Some rhizobial strains have an uptake hydrogenase enzyme (commonly referred to as Hup⁺) that recycles H₂ within the nodules. Other rhizobia, described as Hup⁻, do not h...
