Abstract

Asia is projected to be a major contributor to nitrous oxide (N2O) emission in the coming decades, but assessment of N2O budget and distribution has been hampered by low data resolution and poorly constrained emission factor (EF). Urbanized coastal reservoirs receive high nitrogen loads from diverse...
