To respect the Paris agreement targeting a limitation of global warming below 2° C by 2100,
and possibly below 1.5° C, drastic reductions of greenhouse gas emissions are mandatory …

The demand for agricultural goods is currently higher than it has ever been before due to the
expansion of the world population. This has resulted in the conversion of grassland into …

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 …

This article introduces the second generation CMCC Earth System Model (CMCC‐ESM2)
that extends a number of marine and terrestrial biogeochemical processes with respect to its …

It is widely recommended that crop straw be returned to croplands to maintain or increase
soil carbon (C) storage in arable soils. However, because C and nitrogen (N) …

Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), the nearly forgotten process in the
terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycle, can conserve N by converting the mobile nitrate into non …

Nitrifier denitrification is the reduction of nitrite (NO 2−) by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. This
process may account for up to 100% of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from ammonium (NH …

Although it is well established that soils are the dominating source for atmospheric nitrous
oxide (N2O), we are still struggling to fully understand the complexity of the underlying …

Global nitrogen fixation contributes 413 Tg of reactive nitrogen (Nr) to terrestrial and marine
ecosystems annually of which anthropogenic activities are responsible for half, 210 Tg N …

Background Knowledge of biological and climatic controls in terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycling
within and across ecosystems is central to understanding global patterns of key ecosystem …
