Green ERA Hub - 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 - Understanding tradeoffs and interactions between SOC stocks and GHG emissions for climate-smart agri-soil management

Soils store more carbon than vegetation and atmosphere together. However, soil organic carbon (SOC) is declining world-wide due to agricultural intensification, land use change, erosion, urbanisation and infrastructure development - with negative consequences for soil health and food security. ...

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

Direct emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from farmed soils account for the largest share of plant production?s climate forcing. The FACCE ERA-GAS project ?Mitigating Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions by improved pH management of soils (MAGGE-pH)? explored possibilities to reduce N2O emissions ...

BIONÆR-Bionæringsprogram

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...
