S.  aSoil carbon availability affects nitrogen transformation under irrigated lucernebletter to the editor.h[electronic resource]  c2021  aApproximately 55% of the agricultural land in NewZealand is grazed grassland to support the expanding dairyand meat industries. Intensified management practices such as irrigation, nitrogen fertiliser application, and of forage crop provision are increasingly being adopted to meet the growing production demands. Given its ability in fixing N from symbiont rhizobia, thereby reducing the reliance on inorganic N fertilisers, lucerne (alfalfa,Medicago sativaL.) has been promoted as a forage species for dryland ystems. Moreover, its deep roots can gain access to water during dry periods. Accordingly, identifying management practices that can promote reduction in N2O emission whilst maintaining or enhancing soil C has become a priority.  aAlfalfa  aCarbon  aNitrogen  aSoil  aAlfafa  aCarbono  aMedicago Sativa  aNitrogênio  aSolo1 aNUÑEZ, J.1 aGRAHAM, S.
