Fertilized soils are a major source of N₂O, a potent greenhouse gas. Our latest study by @lkuusemets.bsky.social shows how nitrogen (N) fertilization rates, manure amendments, and crop types influence N₂O emissions and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE).

Interactions of fertilisation and crop productivity in soil nitrogen cycle microbiome and gas emissions
Abstract. Fertilised soils are a significant source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a highly active greenhouse gas and a stratospheric ozone depleter. Nitrogen (N) fertilisers, while boosting crop yield, also...
