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

Abiotic nitrous oxide emission from the hypersaline Don Juan Pond in Antarctica
Vladimir A. Samarkin,Michael T. Madigan,Marshall W. Bowles,Karen L. Casciotti,John C. Priscu,Christopher P. McKay,Samantha B. Joye +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, field measurements reveal nitrous oxide fluxes near Don Juan Pond, Antarctica, of comparable magnitude to those found in tropical soils, which may result from abiotic water-rock reactions.

TL;DR: It is shown that the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a dominant group of soil fungi, which form symbiotic associations with the majority of land plants and which influence a range of important ecosystem functions, can induce a reduction in N2O emissions from soil, and that the disruption of the AMF symbiosis through intensification of agricultural practices may further contribute to increased N 2O emissions.

A Fourier transform infrared trace gas and isotope analyser for atmospheric applications
David W. T. Griffith,Nicholas M. Deutscher,Nicholas M. Deutscher,Christopher Caldow,Graham Kettlewell,M. Riggenbach,Samuel Hammer +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an in situ trace gas analyser based on Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was proposed for simultaneous and continuous measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (N2O), and 13C in CO2 in air with high precision.
