| Abstract | Nitrous oxide is produced by microbes in almost all soils. In agriculture, N2O is emitted mainly from fertilized soils and animal wastes—wherever nitrogen (N) is readily available. In the United States, agriculture accounts for approximately 8 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions but contributes about 75 percent of all N2O emissions linked to human activity2. Of the three major greenhouse gases emitted naturally— carbon dioxide, methane and N2O—N2O is the most important in all field crops but rice3. |
