Short summary

Nitrate pollution from farming is a global problem. A natural process called denitrification helps remove nitrate but also releases CO2, which contributes to climate change. Our study shows that CO2 from this process in Danish groundwater may be a major overlooked source – similar to other known agricultural CO2 emissions. This highlights the need to update greenhouse gas reporting to better reflect farming’s full climate impact.
