Abstract

Reducing N₂O emissions from farmlands is crucial to mitigate climate change. A recent scientific breakthrough employed an innovative method to inoculate farmland soil with a bacterium, resulting in a significant reduction of N₂O emissions. This commentary identifies promising environments and practices for further emission reduction.
