Micrometeorological Measurements Reveal Large Nitrous Oxide Losses during Spring Thaw in Alberta

Agricultural soils in Canada have been observed to emit a large pulse of nitrous oxide (N2O) gas during the spring thaw, representing a large percentage of the annual emissions. We report on three years of spring thaw N2O flux measurements taken at three Alberta agricultural sites: a crop production...
