  • 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.
