TL;DR: In this paper, the potential reduction of radiative forcing by the agricultural sector ranges from 115-33 Gt C equivalents per year of the total potential reduction, approximately 32% could result from reduction in CO2 emissions, 42% of carbon offsets by biofuel production on 15% of existing croplands, 16% from reduced CH4 emissions and 10% from reducing emissions of N2O Agriculture.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an appraisal of N2O emissions from agricultural soils and discuss some recent efforts to improve N 2O flux estimates in agricultural fields (Measurement), and relate recent studies which use nitrification inhibitors to decrease N 2 O emissions from N-fertilized fields (Mitigation).

TL;DR: In this paper, three methods to estimate soil microbial biomass, namely, CHC13 fumigation-incubation (CFI), CFE and SIR, were compared with each other and with arginine ammonification and basal respiration using soils over a wide range of textural classes and organic matter content.

TL;DR: In this paper, an automated system for continuous soil respiration and microbial biomass measurements based on Infra Red Gas Analysis was constructed, which allows hourly measurements of up to 24 samples when switching intervals of 2.5 min are selected.

TL;DR: The total N2O losses during the winter increased with decreasing dry matter-to-N-content ratio of the plant residues incorporated into the soil by ploughing, reflecting the high N-mineralization potential of the soil investigated.
