Abstract: More than forty years ago Ambio published a paper that raised concerns about the increased use of fixed nitrogen as fertiliser in that the resulting increase in nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions to the atmosphere could result in a significant reduction of the Earth’s ozone shield (Crutzen and Ehhalt 1977). It presented another case of human activities at the Earth’s surface impacting on the stratospheric ozone layer. Today, it is known that atmospheric N2O, which is present in the atmosphere in 2020 at a mixing ratio of 332.8 ppbFootnote 1, is not only important for stratospheric ozone but also constitutes the third most important long-lived greenhouse gas (after CO2 and CH4).
