Abstract

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agricultural land use account for 56% of German agricultural green house gas (GHG) emissions. It is assumed that this share will increase up to 60% by 2020. The realistic estimation of N2O emissions for GHG inventory and policy scenarios requires a model approach which considers the regional drivers for both the N2O originating processes and agricultural production.
