Short summary
We studied seventy-two small streams to understand why some release more nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, than others. By measuring water chemistry and physical factors across seasons, we found a strong positive association between nitrate and nitrous oxide levels, especially in acidic waters. Overall, these results show that managing nitrogen in sensitive landscapes might reduce climate impacts.
