Soil gas refers to the mixture of gases that are found in the pores of soil. It primarily consists of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane, and trace gases, which can vary based on factors such as soil composition, vegetation, microbial activity, and environmental conditions. The composition and concentration of soil gases can change significantly with depth, moisture content, temperature, and biological processes occurring in the soil, such as respiration and decomposition.
