  • Soil Emission of Nitrous Oxide and its Mitigation

    by David Ussiri, Rattan Lal ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Nitrous oxide gas is a long-lived relatively active greenhouse gas (GHG) with an atmospheric lifetime of approximately 120 years, and heat trapping effects about 310 times more powerful than carbon dioxide per molecule basis. It contributes about 6% of observed global warming. Nitrous oxide is not only a potent GHG, but it also plays a significant role in the depletion of stratospheric ozone. This ... Read more
