Short summary

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a relevant greenhouse gas emitted from soils to the atmosphere. Human activities, e.g. intensive farming, have contributed to the increase in atmospheric N₂O concentrations with time. Therefore, measurements of N₂O are crucial to understanding climate change. Our study developed a new technique that enables N₂O measurement at small (point) and large (paddock) scales by using a single analyser. Using this new method will accelerate and advance N₂O measurements in future.
