Biogeochemistry: Nitrous oxide in flux
Sharon A. Billings1
Abstract
In drought conditions, forest soils can serve as a small but surprisingly persistent sink for the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. The effect highlights a research avenue necessary for predicting Earth's climate.
Increasing amounts of reactive nitrogen1 are entering the environment through human agency. One consequence is increased production of the powerful greenhouse gas nitrous oxide — N2O — by microorganisms in soils.
