Global Nitrous Oxide Budget
Partnership

The GCP, jointly with the International Nitrogen Initiative, have created a new activity and international consortium of scientists to establish and improve the global N2O budget, trends and variability. The effort is based on the use of multiple bottom-up and top-down estimates and constraints as it is done for the companion activities of the carbon and methane budgets.
