Nitrous Oxide from Beef Cattle Manure: Effects of Temperature, Water Addition and Manure Properties on Denitrification and Nitrification

Nitrous Oxide from Beef Cattle Manure: Effects of Temperature, Water Addition and Manure Properties on Denitrification and Nitrification

Beef feedyards produce nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O), a potent greenhouse gas. Limited research has evaluated the processes that produce feedyard N<sub>2</sub>O, and how rainfall and temperature impact N<sub>2</sub>O losses. Manure in feedyard pens develops into...
