Periodic Reporting for period 2 - Target-N2O (Targeting N2O emission hot-spots in dairy pastures for mitigation action: microbes, stable isotope methods and modelling)

Areas of dairy farm pastures with high stocking densities have been identified as hot-spots of emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide (N2O). This is due to enhanced excretal deposition and pugging/poaching of the soil leading to edaphic conditions which can...
