Agricultural soils contribute significantly to nitrous oxide emissions (N2O), primarily from nitrogen-based fertilizers. Efficient nitrogen management is vital for greenhouse gas mitigation. Cover crops are gaining attention for their ability to absorb and retain excess nitrogen post-harvest. This research examines interactions among various cover crop species, evaluating their potential to reduce N2O emissions. Gas sampling in the cover crop field spans fall and winter. Findings will inform optimal cover crop mixtures, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and maximizing soil health benefits.
