Acceleration of global N<sub>2</sub>O emissions seen from two decades of atmospheric inversion

Estimates of N2O emissions are important given its role as a GHG. Atmospheric inversions indicate emissions increased over the past decade at a rate 2.5 times that estimated using the IPCC default method, and the emissions response to N-input is larger than linear when N-input is high.
