Effects of solid oxygen fertilizers and biochars on nitrous oxide production from agricultural soils in Florida

Abstract Elevated levels of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are a matter of concern in agricultural soils especially when flooding (hypoxic conditions) results from over irrigation or frequent rains. This study is the first to report the use of two solid oxygen fertilizers (SOFs, calcium peroxide and...
