TLDR
This paper found that freeze-thaw events are responsible for 17 to 28% of nitrous oxide emitted from agricultural soils globally. But they did not consider the effect of weather conditions.
Abstract
Large fluxes of nitrous oxide occur when frozen soils thaw. Field measurements and mathematical models suggest that freeze–thaw events are responsible for 17 to 28% of nitrous oxide emitted from agricultural soils globally.

A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks

Hanquin Tian, +65 more
- 08 Oct 2020 - 
TL;DR: A global N2O inventory is presented that incorporates both natural and anthropogenic sources and accounts for the interaction between nitrogen additions and the biochemical processes that control N 2O emissions, using bottom-up, top-down and process-based model approaches.

Global soil nitrous oxide emissions since the preindustrial era estimated by an ensemble of terrestrial biosphere models: Magnitude, attribution, and uncertainty.

TL;DR: This study assessed the effects of multiple anthropogenic and natural factors, including nitrogen fertilizer application, atmospheric N deposition, manure N application, land cover change, climate change, and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration on global soil N2 O emissions for the period 1861-2016 using a standard simulation protocol with seven process-based terrestrial biosphere models.

Nitrous oxide emissions are enhanced in a warmer and wetter world

TL;DR: High-resolution atmospheric inverse analyses reveal that direct and indirect N2O emissions from the US Corn Belt are highly sensitive to perturbations in temperature and precipitation, and project a strong positive feedback to warmer and wetter conditions and unabated growth of regional N 2O emissions that will exceed 600 Gg N2 O-N⋅y−1, on average, by 2050.

Nitrous oxide emissions and biogeochemical responses to soil freezing-thawing and drying-wetting

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the similarities and differences in the mechanisms which lead to potentially higher N2O fluxes during FT compared to DW cycles and identify strategic research areas required for improving the understanding of FT and DW processes leading to emissions.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

Global Precipitation: A 17-Year Monthly Analysis Based on Gauge Observations, Satellite Estimates, and Numerical Model Outputs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed a 2.5° latitude-longitude grid for the 17-yr period from 1979 to 1995 by merging several kinds of information sources with different characteristics, including gauge observations, estimates inferred from a variety of satellite observations, and the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis.

The Global Land Data Assimilation System

TL;DR: The Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) as mentioned in this paper is an uncoupled land surface modeling system that drives multiple models, integrates a huge quantity of observation-based data, runs globally at high resolution (0.25°), and produces results in near-real time (typically within 48 h of the present).
