Short summary
Pastures are an important source of ammonia, a major atmospheric pollutant with manifold environmental impacts. Ammonia is emitted from the decomposition of cattle urine in soils during grazing. We used micrometeorological methods to measure emissions over four grazing seasons. The results show the influence of weather and grassland management on emission processes. Emission factors, used to compile regional inventories, are hugely variable and still very uncertain despite decades of research.
