Nitrous oxide emissions from soils: how well do we understand the processes and their controls?

TL;DR: Improved process understanding, building on the increased use of isotope tracing techniques and metagenomics, needs to go along with improvements in measurement techniques for N2O (and N2) emission in order to obtain robust field and laboratory datasets for different ecosystem types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contributions of nitrification and denitrification to N2O emissions from soils at different water-filled pore space.

TL;DR: A combination of stable isotope and acetylene (0.01% v/v) inhibition techniques were used for the first time to determine N2O production during denitrification, autotrophic nitrification and heterotrophic Nitrification in a silt loam soil at contrasting (20-70%) water-filled pore space (WFPS) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitigating release of the potent greenhouse gas N2O from the nitrogen cycle – could enzymic regulation hold the key?

TL;DR: The current understanding of the process by which N(2)O is produced and destroyed is reviewed and the potential for feeding this into new approaches for combating N( 2)O release is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrous oxide emission from soils after incorporating crop residues

TL;DR: In this article, emissions of N2O were measured from different agricultural systems in SE Scotland and the highest flux was from N-rich lettuce residues, 1100g N 2O-N 2 O-N 1 −1 being emitted over the first 14 days after incorporation by rotary tillage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological sources and sinks of nitrous oxide and strategies to mitigate emissions.

TL;DR: The outcomes of an interdisciplinary meeting, ‘Nitrous oxide (N2O) the forgotten greenhouse gas’, held at the Kavli Royal Society International Centre, from 23 to 24 May 2011 are summarized and the conclusions reached regarding the biological sources and sinks are summarized.
