Soils act as sources and sinks for greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO 2),
methane (CH 4), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Since both storage and emission capacities may …

Agricultural intensification has led to a large increase in drained arable land and pastures
worldwide over the last two centuries. The installation of land drains not only affects the …

Abstract Nitrous oxide (N 2 O), like carbon dioxide, is a long-lived greenhouse gas that
accumulates in the atmosphere. Over the past 150 years, increasing atmospheric N 2 O …

Drained organic soils are large sources of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) in many
European and Asian countries. Therefore, these soils urgently need to be considered and …

Drainage has turned peatlands from a carbon sink into one of the world's largest
greenhouse gas (GHG) sources from cultivated soils. We analyzed a unique data set (12 …

Croplands are the single largest anthropogenic source of nitrous oxide (N2O) globally, yet
their estimates remain difficult to verify when using Tier 1 and 3 methods of the …

Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a powerful greenhouse gas and the main driver of stratospheric
ozone depletion. Since soils are the largest source of N 2 O, predicting soil response to …

International initiatives set ambitious targets for ecological restoration, which is considered a
promising greenhouse gas mitigation strategy. Here, we conduct a meta-analysis to quantify …

Drained, lowland agricultural peatlands are greenhouse gas (GHG) emission hotspots and a
large but vulnerable store of irrecoverable carbon. They exhibit soil loss rates of~ 2.0 cm yr …

Drained peatlands, especially nitrogen (N)-rich ones, are sources of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to
the atmosphere. As this emission is largely caused by N mineralization in oxic peat soil …
