Soils in an Amazonian rainforest are observed to release N 2 O at a rate larger than the global mean by about a factor of 20. Emissions from a New England hardwood forest are approximately 30 times smaller than Brazilian values. Atmospheric methane is consumed by soils in both systems. Tropical forests would provide a major source of atmospheric N 2 O if the Brazilian results are representative.
