Journal ArticleDOI
Manure management: implications for greenhouse gas emissions
Dave Chadwick,Sven G. Sommer,Rachel E. Thorman,David Fangueiro,Laura M. Cardenas,Barbara Amon,Tom Misselbrook +6 more
TL;DR: McAllister et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed the current understanding of how manure management influences direct and indirect N 2 O emissions and CH 4 emissions, introduce new data comparing direct N 2O emissions following spreading of a range of manure types by different methods, and highlight some of the mitigations being considered by researchers and policy makers in developed and developing countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing chamber methods for measuring nitrous oxide emissions from plot-based agricultural experiments
David R. Chadwick,Laura M. Cardenas,Tom Misselbrook,Keith Smith,Robert M. Rees,Cathy J. Watson,K.L. McGeough,John R. Williams,Joanna M. Cloy,Rachel E. Thorman,M. S. Dhanoa +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used N2O chamber data collected from multiple field experiments across different geo-climatic zones in the UK and from a range of nitrogen treatments to quantify uncertainties associated with flux measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying annual N2O emission fluxes from grazed grassland under a range of inorganic fertiliser nitrogen inputs
Laura M. Cardenas,Rachel E. Thorman,N. Ashlee,Malcolm G. Butler,David R. Chadwick,B. J. Chambers,S. C. Cuttle,N. Donovan,H. Kingston,S. Lane,M. S. Dhanoa,D. Scholefield +11 more
TL;DR: Cardenas et al. as discussed by the authors quantified annual N2O emission fluxes from grazed grassland under a range of inorganic fertiliser nitrogen inputs and found that the fluxes varied with the amount of fertilizer used.
Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of nitrification inhibitors to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from UK agriculture
Tom Misselbrook,Laura M. Cardenas,V. Camp,Rachel E. Thorman,John R. Williams,Alison Rollett,B. J. Chambers +6 more
TL;DR: A trial was conducted consisting of 14 experiments across sites in England of contrasting soil type and annual rainfall to assess the effectiveness of nitrification inhibitors (predominantly dicyandiamide (DCD) but limited assessment also of 3, 4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) and a commercial product containing two pyrazole derivatives) in reducing direct nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from fertilizer nitrogen (N), cattle urine and cattle slurry applications to land.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of cattle urine and dung to nitrous oxide emissions: Quantification of country specific emission factors and implications for national inventories.
David R. Chadwick,Laura M. Cardenas,M. S. Dhanoa,N. Donovan,Tom Misselbrook,John R. Williams,Rachel E. Thorman,K.L. McGeough,Cathy J. Watson,M. J. Bell,Steven G. Anthony,Robert M. Rees +11 more
TL;DR: Regression analysis suggests that urine N2O EFs were controlled more by composition than was the case for dung, whilst dung N2 o emission factors were more related to soil and environmental factors.
