Impacts of Legacy and Contemporary Nitrogen Inputs on N2O and CO2 Emissions in Miscanthus and Maize Cultivated Soils by Jaejin Lee, Paul Villanueva, Kate Glanville, Andy Vanloocke, Wendy H. Yang, Angela Kent, Marshall McDaniel, Steven J. Hall, Adina Howe

“…ABSTRACT Nutrient inputs influence the sustainability of bioenergy crop production through contemporary (shortly after addition) and legacy effects (persisting over years) on microbial nitrogen (N) and carbon cycling, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. However, the relative importance of contemporary and legacy effects and how that could vary by crop functional types is poorly understood. …”
