Nitrous oxide emission from different land use changes associated with oil palm plantation

The amount of nitrous oxide emission from syntheticfertilizer use in different scenarios of land use changes associated with oil palm plantation has been estimated.The plantations include two transformed land use estates (large and smallscale) and a logged-over forest converted into oil palm plantat...
