| Abstract: | Key findings • Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions peaked when nitrate-laden soil became waterlogged. • Most greenhouse gas emissions from cropping were due to nitrogen (N) fertiliser use. • N2O emitted directly from the soil accounted for up to half of total greenhouse gas emissions. • The use of legumes reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by up to a half over 3 years. |
