1. How Agronomic Management Affects Soil Nitrous Oxide Emissions

The effects of crop and soil management practices on soil emissions of non-carbon dioxide (CO2) greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as nitrous oxide (N2O) are highly variable, and long-term field data are limited.  Management strategies that impact nitrogen (N) mineralization are also likely to affect how N is lost to the atmosphere as N2O gas.  This presentation covers the agroecosystem soil N cycling concepts leading to losses as N2O as well as...
