TLDR
In this paper, the ozone depletion potential-weighted anthropogenic emissions of N2O with those of other ozone-depleting substances were compared, and it was shown that N 2O emission currently is the single most important ozone-destroying emission and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century.Abstract:
By comparing the ozone depletion potential-weighted anthropogenic emissions of N2O with those of other ozone-depleting substances, we show that N2O emission currently is the single most important ozone-depleting emission and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century. N2O is unregulated by the Montreal Protocol. Limiting future N2O emissions would enhance the recovery of the ozone layer from its depleted state and would also reduce the anthropogenic forcing of the climate system, representing a win-win for both ozone and climate.read more

Identification of key nitrous oxide production pathways in aerobic partial nitrifying granules
Satoshi Ishii,Yanjun Song,Lashitha Rathnayake,Azzaya Tumendelger,Hisashi Satoh,Sakae Toyoda,Naohiro Yoshida,Satoshi Okabe +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that heterotrophic denitrification was the main contributor to N2O production in a partial nitrification (PN) aerobic granule reactor, which was fed with ammonium and acetate.

N2O hydrate formation in porous media: A potential method to mitigate N2O emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the conditions required for N2O sequestration through forming hydrates and found that initial water saturation and pressure were significantly impact the hydrate distribution during the initial formation stage and that sufficient contact between gas and water and a higher driving force are crucial for abundant hydrate formation.

Rice husk biochar and crop residue amendment in subtropical cropping soils: effect on biomass production, nitrogen use efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of maize residues and rice husk biochar on biomass production, fertiliser nitrogen recovery (FNR) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions for three different subtropical cropping soils was investigated.

Emission of nitrous oxide and dinitrogen by diverse earthworm families from Brazil and resolution of associated denitrifying and nitrate-dissimilating taxa.
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the emission of denitrification-derived N(2)O is widespread in different earthworm families, large earthworms can also emit nitrogenous gases, and ingested members of Rhizobiales are associated with this emission.
