Agricultural runoff contributes to climate change

Mechanics of how rivers with increased nitrogen emit greenhouse gases  

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas, with a warming potential of approximately 300 times that of carbon dioxide. From fertilizer runoff in farm fields, an increasing load of nitrogen is washing into rivers and streams. There nitrogen-breathing microbes can break …
