Short summary
The spatial variability of N2O fluxes measured at the field scale were investigated using a high-precision closed loop dynamic chamber. The results highlight the large and often unpredictable variation in N2O flux magnitude measured from agricultural soils at a relatively small scale. Available nitrogen content of the soils accounts for some of the variability in N2O emissions. The study suggests animal waste is an important source of N2O emissions released from livestock farms.
The spatial variability of N2O fluxes measured at the field scale were investigated using a...
