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

Altitudinal gradients of soil and vegetation carbon and nitrogen in a high altitude nature reserve of Karakoram ranges.
TL;DR: The vegetation type and litter both showed high impact on STN and STC, while altitude and HB showed very little or no impact on carbon and nitrogen concentrations, however, altitude puts great impact on shaping vegetation structure due to decreasing temperature along the elevation and other climatic factors which are further responsible in controlling the carbon and fertilizer concentration.

An integrated biochemical system for nitrate assimilation and nitric oxide detoxification in Bradyrhizobium japonicum
Juan J. Cabrera,Ana Salas,María J. Torres,Eulogio J. Bedmar,David J. Richardson,Andrew J. Gates,María J. Delgado +6 more
TL;DR: A dual functional system for bacterial nitrate (NO3−) assimilation and nitric oxide (NO) detoxification is reported and co-expression of an NO-detoxification system acts to counteract accumulation of cytotoxic NO during anaerobic NO3−-dependent growth.
