Secondary data of N2O emissions associated with the return of crop residues from field studies

Abstract

The value of this dataset is: ● This dataset contains a summary of data from 75 field studies on N2O emissions associated with the return of crop residues. It includes the biochemical quality of the residues returned to the soil. The data is grouped according to the type of crop, type of residue generated and residue maturity. All these categories were explained in the papers [papers below] and highlighted the importance of biochemical quality and maturity of the residue to predict N2O emissions. ● This dataset can be used by researchers and stakeholders interested in exploring the drivers of soil N2O emissions from a given residue type. ● These data can be used as a starting point for future meta-analyses and review studies. This dataset is used in the following review papers: • D. Abalos, T. Rittl, S. Recous, P. Thiébeau, et al. 2022 Predicting field N2O emissions from crop residues based on their biochemical composition: a meta-analytical approach. STOTEN, 812, 152532 • D. Abalos, S. Recous, K.
