Abstract
The atmospheric concentration of nitrous oxide is increasing. A gross analysis of the global sources and sinks of this gas identifies soils as being a major source which is presently unconstrained quantitatively. The need to address atmospheric N 2O trends in the next 20–30 years, in view of its many faceted effects on atmospheric chemistry, the global thermal budget and biospheric processes, dictates the need for a concerted effort to study, analyze and monitor N 2O emissions from soils in all the terrestrial ecosystems.
