Effects of elevated CO2 and nitrification inhibitors on N2O emissions from a winter wheat cropping system

Abstract

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the most important greenhouse gases emitted from the fertilized agricultural soils. This agricultural greenhouse gas is produced through nitrification and denitrification processes. The possible factors affecting N2O emissions have been widely studied, including the timing and rate of irrigation and nitrogenous fertilizer application, and environmental soil conditions such as temperature, moisture content, and microbial activity. The response of N2O emissions to the application of nitrification inhibitors has also been investigated in the last few decades, particularly in the context of climate change mitigation. More recent studies have examined the effects of ..
