N2O emissions from managed soils, and CO2 emissions from lime and urea application

Export citation

This section presents the methods and equations for estimating total national anthropogenic emissions of N2O (direct and indirect) from managed soils. The generic equations presented here can also be used for estimating N2O within specific land-use categories or by condition-specific variables (e.g., N additions to rice paddies) if the country can disaggregate the activity data to that level (i.e., N use activity within a specific land use).
