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

Microbial nitrous oxide emissions in dryland ecosystems: mechanisms, microbiome and mitigation
TL;DR: The key microbial players and biological pathways regulating dryland N2 O emissions are described, and how these processes will respond to emerging global changes such as climate warming, extreme weather events and nitrogen deposition are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source and reduction of nitrous oxide
TL;DR: In this paper, a structural and functional model of the N2OR active site has been presented, where the reduction of nitrous oxide occurs in a unique catalytic tetranuclear sulfide center, named CuZ center, a complex center required to overcome the high activation barrier of this reaction.
