Appears in 19 processs and 37 steps. Everything below is linked: open a process to see it in context.
Top processes
- Nitrous oxide emission peaks at about 60-70% water-filled pore space where nitrification and denitrification both run
- Above about 80% water-filled pore space denitrification runs on to N2 and the N2O share falls
- Soils emit about 6 Tg N per year of N2O naturally; fertiliser and manure add about 4 Tg N
