• LCA of soybean meal (2008, result): “This is in good agreement with other studies, showing that N2O plays a major role in the greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production (Olesen et al. 2006; Dalgaard et al. 2006).”
• Livestock-related greenhouse gas emissions: impacts and options for policy makers (2009, background): “Other Northern European studies (the locus of most LCA research) also find that CH4 and N2O emissions dominate, with CO2 playing a less important role (Flessa et al., 2002; Schils et al., 2005; Gibbons et al., 2006; Olesen et al., 2006).”
• Methane mitigation in ruminants: from microbe to the farm scale. (2010, background): “When conventional farming is compared to organic farming, the organic system always results in less emissions than the conventional system per hectare, due to differences in grass management (Haas et al., 2001; Olesen et al., 2006).”
• The Carbon and Global Warming Potential Impacts of Organic Farming: Does It Have a Significant Role in an Energy Constrained World? (2011, methodology): “[59], N2O and CH4 accounted for the bulk of emissions.”
• Evaluation of enteric methane prediction equations for dairy cows used in whole farm models (2010, methodology): “GHG emissions from dairy farms are particularly high due to CH4 emission from enteric fermentation (Olesen et al., 2006).”
• Policy and technological constraints to implementation of greenhouse gas mitigation options in agriculture (2007, background): “Practices that reduce N2O emission often improve the efficiency of N use, thereby also reducing energy use for fertilizer manufacture and avoiding deleterious effects on water and air quality from N pollutants (Oenema et al., 2005; Dalal et al., 2003; Olesen et al., 2006; Paustian et al., 2004).”
