Summary
This modelling study examined how projected climate change impacts on temperature and precipitation patterns may influence nitrous oxide emissions from grassland soils in South West England. Using simulation approaches, the authors quantified potential changes in N2O emission rates under future climate scenarios. The work contributes to understanding how agricultural grassland greenhouse gas emissions may evolve in response to climatic shifts in a key UK farming region.
UK applicability
Directly applicable to UK grassland management and climate mitigation policy, particularly for the South West region. Findings may inform soil management and mitigation strategies for reducing agricultural N2O emissions under projected UK climate conditions.
Key measures
N2O emission rates (likely in kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ or similar); soil temperature; soil moisture; climate variables
Outcomes reported
The study modelled nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from grassland soils in South West England under projected climate change scenarios. It assessed how temperature and precipitation changes may alter N2O emission rates from agricultural grasslands.
