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

Rainfall variability drives interannual variation in N2O emissions from a humid, subtropical pasture
TL;DR: The interannual variation in nitrous oxide emissions from a subtropical pasture in Queensland, Australia, was examined using continuous measurements of automated chambers over 2 consecutive years, with cumulative emissions increasing with decreasing rainfall.

Nitrogen excretion factors of livestock in the European Union: a review.
TL;DR: There is a need for a common, harmonised methodology and procedure for the estimation of N excretion factors, to arrive at a common basis for the estimating of the production of manure N and N balances, and emissions of ammonia and nitrous oxide across the EU.

Molecular structure and function of bacterial nitric oxide reductase
TL;DR: The crystal structure of the membrane-integrated nitric oxide reductase cNOR from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was determined and the possible molecular mechanism for the reduction of NO by cNOR is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated assessment of the impact of enhanced-efficiency nitrogen fertilizer on N2O emission and crop yield
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the key factors affecting the efficacy of EENF in upland cropping systems and found that the effects of EenF were similar among maize, wheat, and barley.
