Data from: Sensitive response of atmospheric oxidative capacity to the uncertainty in the emissions of nitric oxide (NO) from soils in Amazonia

Soils are a major source of nitrogen oxides, which in the atmosphere help
govern its oxidative capacity. Thus the response of soil nitric oxide (NO)
emissions to forcings such as warming or forest loss has a meaningful
impact on global atmospheric chemistry. We find that the soil emission
rate of NO in Amazonia from a common inventory is biased low by at least
an order of magnitude in comparison to tower-based observations.
Accounting for this regional bias decreases the modeled global methane
lifetime by 1.4% to 2.6%. In comparison, a fully deforested Amazonia,
representing a 37% decrease in global emissions of isoprene, decreases
methane lifetime by at most 4.6%, highlighting the sensitive response of
oxidation rates to changes in emissions of NO compared to those of
terpenes. Our results demonstrate that improving our understanding of soil
NO emissions will yield a more accurate representation of atmospheric
oxidative capacity.
