Abstract: Worldwide greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reached 59 Gt of CO2eq in 2019 and agricultural soils are the primary source of N2O emissions. Life cycle assessments (LCA) have been successful in assessing GHG from agricultural systems. However, no review and harmonization attempt has been focused on soil N2O emissions, despite the need to improve LCA methodologies for assessing GHG in agricultural LCA.
