“…Nevertheless, only a handful of studies globally have analysed the contribution of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to total GHG emissions from reservoirs (Deemer et al, ; Descloux, Chanudet, Serça, & Guérin, ; Guérin, Abril, Tremblay, & Delmas, ; Tremblay, Varfalvy, Roehm, & Garneau, ), despite N 2 O having a higher global warming potential (GWP) compared with CH 4 . Further, there are sparse data from the tropical areas, although tropical reservoirs exhibit high run‐offs and associated high organic carbon loads resulting from irregular and heavy precipitation (Tundisi, Matsumura‐Tundisi, & Calijuri, ), as well as nearly constant and elevated temperatures that causes thermal stratification and deoxygenation of bottom waters (Barros et al, ; Tundisi & Tundisi, ). These conditions are known to be favourable conditions for enhanced CH 4 and N 2 O production and emissions (Demarty & Bastien, ; Fearnside, ; Galy‐Lacaux, Delmas, Kouadio, Richard, & Gosse, ; Guérin et al, ).…”
