To investigate the impact of elevated surface ozone (O3) concentration on nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from arid farmland, field experiments were carried out during winter-wheat and soybean growing seasons under the condition of simulating O3 concentrations, including free air (CK), 100 nL x L(-1) O3 concentration (T1), and 150 nL x L(-1) O3 concentration (T2). N2O emission fluxes were measured by static dark chamber-gas chromatograph method. The results showed that the accumulative amount of N2O (AAN) were decreased by 37.8% (P = 0.000 ) and 8.8% (P = 0.903 ) under T1 and T2 treatments, respectively, in the turning-green stage of winter wheat. In the elongation-booting stage, ANN were decreased by 15.0% (P = 0.217) and 39.1% (P = 0.000) under T1 and T2 treatments, respectively. ANN were decreased by 18.9% (P = 0.138) and 25.6% (P = 0.000) under T1 and T2 treatments, respectively, during the whole winter-wheat growing season. No significant impact of elevated O3 concentration on N2O emission from soil-soybean system was found due to the less rainfall during the soybean growing season, drought had a stronger stress on soybean than O3 concentration. The results of this study suggested that elevated O3 concentration could reduce N2O emission from arid farmland.

Atmospheric nitrous oxide (NO) is a potent greenhouse gas, with long atmospheric residence time and a global warming potential 273 times higher than CO. NO emissions are mainly produced from soils and are influenced by biotic and abiotic factors that can be substantially altered by anthropogenic activities, such as land uses, especially when unmanaged natural ecosystems are replaced by croplands or other uses. In this study, we evaluated the spatial variability of NO emissions from croplands (maize, soybean, wheat, and sugar cane crops), paired with the natural grasslands or forests that they replaced across a wide environmental gradient in Argentina, and identified the key drivers governing the spatial variability of NO emissions using structural equation modeling.

Soil microorganisms are essential for maintaining ecosystem functionality, particularly through their role in the nitrogen (N) biogeochemical cycle. Thus, they also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions from soils. Microorganisms are sensitive indicators of soil health, as they respond rapidly to disturbances caused by factors like unsustainable agricultural practices or industrial activities, such as mining.

Alpine wet meadows are known as NO sinks due to nitrogen (N) limitation. However, phosphate addition and N deposition can modulate this limitation, and little is known about their combinative effects on NO emission from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in wet meadows. This study used natural wet meadow as the control treatment (CK) and conducted experiments with N (CONH addition, N15), P (NaHPO addition, P15), and their combinations (CONH and NaHPO addition, N15P15) to investigate how N and P supplementation affected soil NO emissions in wet meadow of QTP.

The kitchen waste and garden waste (KW-GW) co-composting system provides an effective method for recycling these two types of municipal solid waste; however, further improvements are needed to enhance bioconversion performance. This study investigates a novel composting additive, calcium polypeptides (CPPs), derived from waste animal and plant proteins, which can enhance the bioconversion capacity of biomass in the KW-GW co-composting system. As a pH regulator and an available nitrogen source, CPPs significantly increase the compost matrix pH, prolong the thermophilic phase, and reduce emissions of exhaust gases such as CH, NO, NH, and HS by 52.

Horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HFCWs) are capable of eliminating organic matter and nitrogen while emitting less methane (CH) and nitrous oxide (NO) than free water surface flow wetlands. However, the simultaneous removal of pollutants and reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from high-strength wastewater containing high levels of organic matter and ammonium nitrogen (NH-N) has not get been investigated. The influent COD concentration affected the efficiency of nitrogen removal, GHG emissions and the presence of iron from iron ore, but the COD and TP removal efficiencies remained unaffected.
