Simulating N2O fluxes from a Brazilian cropped soil with contrasted tillage practices

▶ A model-based approach complements well N2O field and laboratory measurements. ▶ Nitrification contributed to 35% of the total N2O emissions at the crop cycle scale. ▶ Denitrification corresponds to short and intense N2O emissions. ▶ N2O field measurements correspond to simulated emissions from nitrification.
