Non-linear nitrous oxide (N2O) response to N fertilizer during switchgrass establishment

Poster Number:  317 Presenter/Primary Author:  Leilei Ruan N2O is known for its high global warming potential. Various studies have shown that soil N2O emissions are significantly correlated with the amount of N fertilizer applied.
