Abstract

This dataset contains nitrous oxide (N2O) flux measurements and associated environmental data from agricultural field trials in Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). The data was collected as part of WP2 of the ZEO-MP project focusing on greenhouse gas emissions from croplands under different fertilizer management practices. The dataset includes 2,472 observations with 3 variables covering N2O fluxes, air temperature and mineral N rate applied. This research received scientific and financial support from the Nestle Institute of Agricultural Sciences (NIAS) as part of an initiative to elucidate the impact of different agronomic practices on greenhouse gas emissions, soil health, biodiversity, and yields in tropical perennial cropping systems.
