Harnessing African Microbial Diversity to mitigate Green House Gas emissions in maize production

Food security of Africa’s growing population strongly depends on closing the yield gap for cash crops like maize. This can be achieved by increasing the input of N and P fertilizers and applying artificial irrigation, which, however, could substantially increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Th...

EJP-Soil First call: Understanding tradeoffs and interactions between SOC stocks and GHG emissions for climate-smart agri-soil management

Det er mer karbon i jord enn i vegetasjon og atmosfæren til sammen. Mye av karbonet går imidlertid tapt gjennom intensivert landbruk, arealbruksendringer, erosjon, urbanisering og infrastrukturutvikling - med uheldig utfall for jordhelse og matsikkerhet. Dyrkingsmetoder som har til mål å øke karb...

MAGGE Mitigating Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions by improved pH management of soils

Direkte utslipp av lystgass (N2O) fra dyrket jord utgjør den største andel av planteproduksjonens klimapådriv. FACCE ERA-GAS prosjektet ?Mitigating Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions by improved pH management of soils (MAGGE-pH)? utforsket muligheter til å redusere N2O utslipp fra dyrket jord ...

Creating a scientific basis for an integrated evaluation of soil-borne GHG emissions in Norwegian agriculture

Agroecosystems contribute to global warming by direct and indirect emissions of the greenhouse gases CO2, CH4 and N2O. Cultivated soils are either net sinks or sources for CO2 and strong sources of N2O. Thus, cultivated soils indisputably contribute to th e total GHG budget of food production. Ho...
