From field measurements to national inventories and smart incentives—the SmartField approach for agricultural soil N <sub>2</sub> O fluxes Open
Significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural production is crucial to limiting climate change. Fertilized soils are a major source of nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a potent GHG. Reducing N 2 O emissions is a key interes…
