Abstract:China is among the top nitrous oxide (N2O)-emitting countries, but existing national inventories do not provide full-scale emissions including both natural and anthropogenic sources. We conducted a four-decade (1980–2020) of comprehensive quantification of Chinese N2O inventory using empirical emission factor method for anthropogenic sources and two up-to-date process-based models for natural sources. Total N2O emissions peaked at 2287.4 (1774.8–2799.9) Gg N2O yr−1 in 2018, and agriculture-developed regions, l… Show more
