Nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from grazed pasture soils represent a significant source of atmospheric N₂O. Several types of environments or events characterized by potentially high N₂O production and emissions can be distinguished in the livestock farming system. These include camping areas, drinking sites, feedlots, shade areas, footpaths, dung and urine patches. Here we propose overwintering areas, that is pasture sites where cattle is located in high stock densities for relatively long period during winter season as another type of hot spots for N₂O emissions.
