Abstract(s)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas that plays a key role in climatic forcing
contributing to the greenhouse effect by about 4 %, and also contributes to stratospheric
ozone depletion. Cattle slurries are commonly applied to agricultural soils, inducing an
increase of soil nitrous oxide emissions. Therefore, many procedures were developed for
slurry pre-treatment in order to improve soil slurry application and reduce nitrogen
losses, namely N2O emissions.
The aim of this work was to compare N2O emissions and the kinetic of N organic
degradation from treated and untreated cattle-slurry after its incorporation in agricultural
soils.
