Unexpectedly minor nitrous oxide emissions from fluvial networks draining permafrost catchments of the East Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
L. Zhang, S. Zhang, et al.
In a groundbreaking study by Liwei Zhang and colleagues, the unexpected role of East Qinghai-Tibet Plateau rivers as minor nitrous oxide (N2O) sources is revealed. Despite high potential from permafrost thaw, factors like low nitrogen levels and unfavorable conditions for N2O generation may keep emissions marginal. Could future warming flip the script?
