Keller, M., Wofsy, S.C., Kaplan, W.A., McElroy, M.B. and Goreau, T.J. (1983). Production of nitrous oxide and consumption of methane by forest soils. Geophysical Research Letters 10: doi: 10.1029/GL010i012p01156. issn: 0094-8276.

Soils in an Amazonian rainforest are observed to release N2O at a rate larger than the global mean by about a factor of 20. Emissions from a New England hardwood forest are approximately 30 times smaller than Brazilian values. Atmosphere methane is consumed by soils in both systems. Tropical forests would provide a major source of atmosphere N2O if the Brazilian results are representative.
