Assessing nitrous oxide emissions from grass-clover ley within a crop rotation using measurements and modeling

Key Points

• Nitrous oxide emissions increase significantly during certain crop rotation phases, reflecting environmental impacts.
• Measurements indicated a peak of emissions at 24.5 kg/ha, correlated with specific growth stages.
• Analysis includes both direct measurements and modeling techniques to estimate emissions accurately.
• Results highlight the need for sustainable crop management practices to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
