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: In this article, a spatially resolved emissions inventory of reactive nitrogen (ammonia and nitrous oxide) from animal and crop farming is analyzed for the base year 2003, and the state of Uttar Pradesh has the highest reactive nitrogen emissions (522 Gg yr).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of tillage (mouldboard plough [MP] and no-tillage [NT]) and three mineral N application rates on annual and biennial (2004-2005) N2O fluxes were investigated using a split-plot design using tillage as the main plots and fertilizer rates as the sub-plot.

The significant contribution of fungi to soil N2O production across diverse ecosystems.
TL;DR: In this paper, relative contributions of fungi and bacteria to soil N 2 O production were examined in five ecosystems, including conventional farming (CON), integrated crop and livestock system (ICL), organic farming (ORG), plantation forestry (PF), and abandoned agriculture field subjected to natural succession (SUCC).

Evaluating two concepts for the modelling of intermediates accumulation during biological denitrification in wastewater treatment.
Yuting Pan,Bing-Jie Ni,Huijie Lu,Kartik Chandran,David J. Richardson,David J. Richardson,Zhiguo Yuan +6 more
TL;DR: The ASM-ICE model offers a better tool for predicting and understanding intermediates accumulation in biological denitrification, due to that it adopts an "indirect coupling" modelling concept through electron carriers to link the carbon oxidation and the nitrogen reduction processes, which describes the electron competition well.
