Acceleration of global N2O emissions seen from two decades of atmospheric inversion
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most important long-lived GHG and an important stratospheric ozone depleting substance. Agricultural practices and the use of N-fertilizers have greatly enhanced emissions of N2O....

N2O Release from Agro-biofuel Production Negates Global Warming Reduction by Replacing Fossil Fuels
The relationship, on a global basis, between the amount of N fixed by chemical, biological or atmospheric processes entering the terrestrial biosphere, and the total emission of nitrous oxide (N2O), has been re-e...

Uncertainty, cost-effectiveness and environmental safety of robust carbon trading: integrated approach
Carbon markets, like other commodity markets, are volatile. They react to stochastic “disequilibrium” spot prices, which may be affected by inadequate policies, speculations and bubbles. The market-based emiss...
