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

Modeling impacts of fertilization alternatives on nitrous oxide and nitric oxide emissions from conventional vegetable fields in southeastern China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used a unique dataset from a four-year measurement study of an intensively managed conventional vegetable field in southeastern China, and tested a process-based biogeochemical model, denitrificationdecomposition (DNDC), for its applicability for quantifying the impact of fertilizer management practices on emissions of N trace gases from vegetable production.

A new model to assess the environmental impact and sustainability of energy systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a novel sustainability assessment methodology for energy systems using life-cycle emission factors and sustainability indicators and examined the global warming and environmental impact dimensions of the assessment methodology in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a harmonized N2O Observation Network (N2O-ON) combining discrete and continuous data from various platforms, including the MarinE MethanE and NiTrous Oxide database (MEMENTO).

Inhibition by free nitrous acid (FNA) and the electron competition of nitrite in nitrous oxide (N2O) reduction during hydrogenotrophic denitrification.
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of nitrite, pH and FNA on N2O production and reduction in a hydrogenotrophic denitrification process showed thatN2O reduction rate decreased under both conditions of low pH and presence of nitrites, which would exert synergetic inhibition on N 2O reduction.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Management in Dryland Wheat Cropping Systems.
TL;DR: The results showed that at-planting N fertilizer application of 90 kg N ha−1 has significantly increased GY, GP and NUP, and for all six site-years, topdress N fertilizer applied at flowering did not improve wheat GY and GP values compared to at- planting fertilizer alone.
