<jats:sec><jats:title>Rationale</jats:title><jats:p>Isotopic signatures of N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O can help distinguish between two sources (fertiliser N or endogenous soil N) of N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O emissions. The contribution of each source to N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O emissions after N‐application is difficult to determine. Here, isotopologue signatures of emitted N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O are used in an improved isotopic model based on Rayleigh‐type equations.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>The effects of a partial (33% of surface area, treatment 1c) or total (100% of surface area, treatment 3c) dispersal of N and C on gaseous emissions from denitrification were measured in a laboratory incubation system (DENIS) allowing simultaneous measurements of NO, N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O, N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> over a 12‐day incubation period. To determine the source of N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O emissions those results were combined with both the isotope ratio mass spectrometry analysis of the isotopocules of emitted N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O and those from the <jats:sup>15</jats:sup>N‐tracing technique.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>The spatial dispersal of N and C significantly affected the quantity, but not the timing, of gas fluxes. Cumulative emissions are larger for treatment 3c than treatment 1c. The <jats:sup>15</jats:sup>N‐enrichment analysis shows that initially ~70% of the emitted N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O derived from the applied amendment followed by a constant decrease. The decrease in contribution of the fertiliser N‐pool after an initial increase is sooner and larger for treatment 1c. The Rayleigh‐type model applied to N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O isotopocules data (δ<jats:sup>15</jats:sup>N<jats:sup>bulk</jats:sup>‐N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O values) shows poor agreement with the measurements for the original one‐pool model for treatment 1c; the two‐pool models gives better results when using a third‐order polynomial equation. In contrast, in treatment 3c little difference is observed between the two modelling approaches.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>The importance of N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O emissions from different N‐pools in soil for the interpretation of N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O isotopocules data was demonstrated using a Rayleigh‐type model. Earlier statements concerning exponential increase in native soil nitrate pool activity highlighted in previous studies should be replaced with a polynomial increase with dependency on both N‐pool sizes.</jats:p></jats:sec>
