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.

Human impacts and aridity differentially alter soil N availability in drylands worldwide

Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo, +55 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a global observational study to evaluate how aridity and human impacts, together with biotic and abiotic factors, affect key soil variables of the nitrogen cycle.

Anaerobic soil disinfestation impact on soil nutrients dynamics and nitrous oxide emissions in fresh-market tomato

TL;DR: Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is proposed as a pre-plant, non-chemical soil disfestation technique to control several soilborne phytosanitary issues as discussed by the authors.

Inoculation with N2-generating denitrifier strains mitigates N2O emission from agricultural soil fertilized with poultry manure

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used microbial technology to mitigate N2O emission from agricultural soil fertilized with pelleted poultry manure, which is recommended for use with agricultural soil as a replacement for chemical fertilizers; however, application of the manure stimulates nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from the soil through denitrification.

Analysis of recent lower-stratospheric ozone trends in chemistry climate models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed 31 chemistry climate model simulations performed for the Chemistry Climate Model Initiative (CCMI) for varying periods with start dates from 1995 to 2001 and the end dates from 2013 to 2019 and found that all models developed a positive ozone trend at mid-latitudes, and the trends converge to constant values by the spanning 1998-2060.

Minimizing nitrous oxide in biological nutrient removal from municipal wastewater by controlling copper ion concentrations

TL;DR: According to this study, the supplement of influent Cu2+ to a concentration of 10–100 μg/L is beneficial to reduce N2O emission and improve nitrogen removal when sludge concentration in the BNR system is around 3,200 mg/L.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

The influence of nitrogen oxides on the atmospheric ozone content

TL;DR: In this paper, the probable importance of NO and NO2 in controlling the ozone concentrations and production rates in the stratosphere is pointed out and some processes which may lead to production of nitric acid are discussed.
