  Climate change is a threat to the sustainable development, and changes in the climate have been noticed since the early 1950s. Atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations have increased significantly in the last three decades. Soils and fossil fuels are the main sources of GHGs in the atmosphere and nitrous oxide (N₂O) is one of the most important greenhouse gases since it has long lifetime (about 114 yrs), high global warming potential and ability to destroy ozone (O₃) layer.
