Extreme emission of N2O from tropical wetland soil (Pantanal, South America)

Extreme emission of N2O from tropical wetland soil (Pantanal, South America)

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas and ozone depleter, but the global budget of N2O remains unbalanced. Currently, ~25% of the global N2O emission is ascribed to uncultivated tropical soils, but the exact locations and controlling mechanisms are not clear. Here we present the first s...
