Provenance information	Both studies used field experiments at six temperate grassland sites in Ireland (Johnstown Castle, Moorepark, and Hillsborough) during 2013–2014, applying fertilisers in replicated plots. Nitrous oxide (N₂O) fluxes were measured using the closed static chamber technique, with gas samples collected after chamber closure and analysed by gas chromatography with electron capture detectors. Soil samples were taken regularly to assess mineral nitrogen (NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻), while soil moisture, temperature, and weather data were recorded using probes and nearby meteorological stations. Fertiliser treatments included calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), urea, and urea amended with stabilisers (e.g. NBPT, DCD), applied either at a single rate (Harty et al. 2016) or across a range of rates (Rahman et al. 2021). Statistical analyses (ANOVA, regression) were used to compare cumulative N₂O emissions and calculate emission factors.
