Introduction Approximately 6% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions originating in the United States (U.S.) come from agricultural activities (U.S., EPA, 2010). Approximately 6% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions originating in the United States (U.S.) come from agricultural activities (U.S., EPA, 2010). These gases are in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4). These gases are in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4).

Objectives Using eddy covariance to measure N 2 O fluxes at a commercial farm Using eddy covariance to measure N 2 O fluxes at a commercial farm To compare the EC to chamber- based technologies To compare the EC to chamber- based technologies
