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

Isotopocule analysis of biologically produced nitrous oxide in various environments
TL;DR: Observational and laboratory studies of N2 O related to biological processes are reviewed and discussed to elucidate complex material cycles of this trace gas, which causes global warming and stratospheric ozone depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined use of nitrification inhibitor and struvite crystallization to reduce the NH3 and N2O emissions during composting.
TL;DR: Results showed that the combination use of SCP and DCD was phytotoxin free, and the DCD significantly inhibits nitrification when the content was higher than 50mgkg(-1), and that could reduce the N2O emission by 76.1-77.6%.

TL;DR: It is indicated that AOA are functionally heterogeneous and that the selection of distinct AOA populations by the environment can be a determinant for nitrification activity and N availability in soils.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured isotopomer ratios of N2O emitted from typical Japanese agricultural soils (Fluvisols and Andisols) planted with rice, wheat, soybean, and vegetables, and treated with synthetic (urea or ammonium) and organic (poultry manure) fertilizers.

Bimetallic Au–Pd Alloy Catalysts for N2O Decomposition: Effects of Surface Structures on Catalytic Activity
Xing Wei,Xing Wei,Xiaofeng Yang,Xiaofeng Yang,Aiqin Wang,Lin Li,Xiaoyan Liu,Tao Zhang,Chung-Yuan Mou,Jun Li +9 more
TL;DR: Well-homogenized RhFe alloy nanoparticles and core-shell structured Fe@Rh nanoparticles were highly dispersed on SBA-15 and then applied to N2O catalytic conversion, revealing that O atoms prefer to be adsorbed on exposed Fe atoms on the surface of RhFe rather than that of Fe@ Rh.
