Scientists found that ammonia drifting from pig farms can settle on nearby soils and increase nitrous oxide emissions.

Humanity is producing more and more climate-damaging nitrous oxide - the third most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane, according to a comprehensive analysis published in the ...

Like carbon dioxide and methane, the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide plays a significant role in global warming. While naturally occurring, it is also produced primarily by farming activity. Human-driven ...

In the world of greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide gets most of the blame. But tiny organisms that flourish in the world's farm fields emit a far more potent gas, nitrous oxide, and scientists ...

Emissions of nitrous oxide—a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide or methane—continued unabated between 1980 and 2020, a year when more than 10 million metric tons flowed into the atmosphere ...

Sorghum is one plant sometimes used for silage. Scientists at Kansas State University say this fermented livestock feed produces nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, but that they have uncovered a ...

SALINAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Agrology today launched the first real-time, in-field nitrous oxide (N₂O) flux sensor, breaking new ground for climate-smart agriculture. This technology advances ...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The first details of a potential, and possibly massive, climate agreement between the U.S. and China were announced at a climate summit at the White House on Tuesday. The initiative ...

The role of soil and forests in greenhouse gas sequestration has been studied for a long time. However, forests are also home to invisible organisms that may affect the climate. "Soil, water and ...

Carbon dioxide gets most of the attention when people talk about climate change, and for good reason. Carbon dioxide ...
