22. Effects of cover crops on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in cereal cropping
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : More than 60% of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are attributed to agricultural activities. N2O production in soils highly depends on the N availability along with other factors such as soil moisture content, which provide suitable conditions for nitrification and denitrification. READ MORE
