Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas and an important ozone-depleting substance. Microbial nitrogen cycling in agricultural soils is a major source of atmospheric N2O. Now, research shows that the capacity of soils to take up N2O is mostly explained by the abundance and diversity of a newly described N2O-reducing microbial group.
