Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a potent greenhouse gas, and agricultural soils represent a major anthropogenic source. Crop residues provide nutrients for plants but also act as hotspots of N 2 O production. The hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) could proliferate in organic patches, utilize rel...
