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

Comparison of Organic and Integrated Nutrient Management Strategies for Reducing Soil N2O Emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the mechanisms influencing N2O emissions in response to organic and inorganic nitrogen (N) fertilizer sources, synthesize findings from the limited number of field experiments that have directly compared N 2O emissions for organic N inputs vs. INM treatments, and develop a hypothesis for conditions under which INM reduces N 2 O emissions and identify key knowledge gaps to address in future research.

Estimation and mitigation of N2O emission and nitrate leaching from intensive crop cultivation in the Haean catchment, South Korea.
TL;DR: Reducing (39%) and splitting N fertilizer application into 3 times was most effective and lead to about 54% and 77% reducing of N2O emission and nitrate leaching from the Haean catchment, the latter potentially contributing to improved water quality in the Soyang River Dam, which is the major source of drinking water for metropolitan residents.

Nitrous Oxide Fluxes and Soil Oxygen Dynamics of Soil Treated with Cow Urine
TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized plot design was used to test whether soil oxygen concentration or relative diffusivity of O₂ (Dₚ/DO) could explain nitrous oxide emissions from urine patches.
