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

TL;DR: The AGAGE (Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment) program as mentioned in this paper is a multinational global atmospheric measurement program that is used to measure globally, at high-frequency, and at multiple sites all the important species in the Montreal Protocol and all important non-carbon-dioxide (non-CO2) gases assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (CO2 is also measured at several sites).

TL;DR: This study provides the first global-scale assessment demonstrating that elevated temperature shifts N cycling from microbial immobilization to enhanced mineralization, nitrification and denitrification in terrestrial ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen enrichment and the emission of nitrous oxide from streams
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the longest-term measurements of N2O fluxes from streams to date, and found annual flux from 14 sites in five streams of south-central Ontario, Canada varied widely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrous oxide emissions from a large, impounded river: the Ohio River.
TL;DR: Results indicate N(2)O dynamics in large temperate rivers may be characterized by strong seasonal cycles and production in the pelagic zone, and direct measurements of microbial N( 2)O emissions from the water surface and sediments and water column are the first to be reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured N2O emissions from streams within the US Corn Belt using a chamber-based approach and analyzed the data as a function of Strahler stream order.

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.
