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

Towards food, feed and energy crops mitigating climate change.
TL;DR: The current knowledge of plant-microbe interactions in relation to the CH(4) and N(2)O budgets is summarized and it is shown how this is promoting new generations of crop cultivars that have the potential to mitigate GHG emissions for future agricultural use.

The importance of climate change and nitrogen use efficiency for future nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture
TL;DR: In this paper, a process-based land model with coupled carbon-nitrogen cycle was used to examine how changes in climatic factors, land-use, and N application rates could affect agricultural N2O emissions by 2050.
