Abstract
This paper outlines the current knowledge of
the processes controlling nitrous oxide (N2O)
and methane (CH4) fluxes, methods of
measurement, mitigation options and models
designed to simulate N2O and CH4 fluxes.
Natural and managed soils are globally
important sources and sinks of the main non-
CO2 greenhouse gases (GHG) N2O and CH4.
Compared to CO2 their global warming
potential over a 100 year period is 298 and 25
times, respectively, larger than that of CO2.
