Abstract
Greenhouse gases emitted from soil play a crucial role in the atmospheric environment and global climate change. The theory and technique of detecting stable isotopes in the atmosphere has been widely used to an investigate greenhouse gases from soil. In this paper, we review the current literature on greenhouse gases emitted from soil, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). We attempt to synthesize recent advances in the theory and application of stable isotopes in greenhouse gases from soil and discuss future research needs and directions.
Highlights
Climate change impacts on human lives and environmental safety, and has received considerable attention all over the world over the past few decades
CO2, CH4, and nitrous oxide (N2 O) are the three primary greenhouse gases exchanged between the soil and the atmosphere [5], contributing about 80% of the current global radiative forcing [6], and these greenhouse gas emissions can be further enhanced by the impact of natural emissions and human activities [7,8]
Soil is a major source of greenhouse gases [9], where emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2 O related to soil account for 35%, 47%, and 53% of total annual CO2, CH4, and N2 O emissions, respectively, including industry, agriculture, and so on [10]
