Abstract
Significance: Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a potent ozone-depleting greenhouse gas. This work identifies a means by which N 2 O is generated during nitrification, or biological ammonia oxidation. Fertilizer use in agriculture stimulates nitrification, thus increasing the volume of N 2 O emissions worldwide. The results presented herein will inform models and strategies toward optimized, sustainable agriculture. Moreover, these results highlight a rare example of biological N–N bond formation.Keywords
