An interdisciplinary team of researchers has made exciting discoveries regarding how to mitigate the effects of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most important greenhouse gas, next to CO2 and methane and is a serious destructor of the stratospheric ozone layer. Microorganisms are responsible for most N2O emissions through nitrification and denitrification. A better understanding of the ecology and physiology of these organisms holds a key to reducing the release of harmful N2O from agriculture and waste treatment.
