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

Shell biofilm-associated nitrous oxide production in marine molluscs: processes, precursors and relative importance.
Ines M. Heisterkamp,Andreas Schramm,Lone Heimann Larsen,Nanna B Svenningsen,Gaute Lavik,Dirk de Beer,Peter Stief +6 more
TL;DR: Ammonium excretion by the animals was found to be sufficient to sustain N2 O production in the shell biofilm and animal-induced stimulation was demonstrated in a long-term microcosm experiment with the snail H. reticulata, where shell biofilms exhibited the highest N2O emission rates when the animal was still living inside the shell.

The UVB photoreceptor UVR8 mediates accumulation of UV‐absorbing pigments, but not changes in plant morphology, under outdoor conditions
TL;DR: It is concluded that the UVR8 photoreceptor plays a role throughout the year, in the temperate climate zone, even when UVB levels are relatively low.

TL;DR: Effective measures should be taken at each step during N flow or combined options should be used in order to mitigate N2O emission at the farm level to protect farm profitability and food supply.
