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.

Spatial and temporal variations of N2O emissions from global forest and grassland ecosystems

TL;DR: In this paper, a process-based dynamic ecosystem model of TRIPLEX-GHG was used to estimate the spatial and temporal patterns of N2O fluxes from global forest and grassland ecosystems under the effects of global warming and elevated CO2 concentrations.

Efficiency of Nitrogen Fertilization of Winter Wheat Depending on Sulfur Fertilization

TL;DR: In this article, a three-year field experiment was conducted to determine the efficiency of fertilization with a new fertilizer available on the Polish market and containing nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) in proportions designed for cereals cultivation.

Phosphorus availability and plants alter soil nitrogen retention and loss

TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of P addition with and without plant presence on N2O emission, NO3- leaching and 15N recovery showed that both P addition and plant presence increased N retention in the soil-plant system and thus reduced N loss through leaching.

Simultaneous determination of δ15N and δ18O of N2O and δ13C of CH4 in nanomolar quantities from a single water sample

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a rapid, sensitive, and automated analytical system to simultaneously determine the concentrations and stable isotopic compositions (delta(15)N, delta(18)O, and delta(13)C) of nanomolar quantities of nitrous oxide (N(2)O) and methane (CH(4)) in water, by combining continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry and a helium-sparging system to extract and purify the dissolved gases.

Past, present, and future of nitrous oxide.

TL;DR: Comparative studies for N2O role in combatting the prescription opioid analgesic epidemic may well provide further clinical impetus, and areas timely for developing research are identified.

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.
