Crop residues are of crucial importance to maintain or even increase soil carbon stocks and
fertility, and thereby to address the global challenge of climate change mitigation. However …

Some European countries are exploring the idea of replacing dedicated crops with energy
cover crops for biogas production. Indeed, energy cover crops can generate consequential …

Crop residues are important inputs of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to soils and thus directly
and indirectly affect nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. As the current inventory methodology …

Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from agricultural soils are the main source of atmospheric N
2 O, a potent greenhouse gas and key ozone-depleting substance. Several agricultural …

Conservation agriculture is often assumed to reduce soil N2O emissions. Yet, studies
analyzing the specific effect of conservation agriculture practices on N2O emissions give …

Agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and one of the sectors
most vulnerable to climate change. Mulching, the application of an organic layer to an …

Alterations in aboveground plant litter inputs due to global climate change can strongly
change soil nitrogen (N) cycling, which will influence soil processes and functions. However …

Introducing green manure is considered a sustainable practice in wheat production on the
Qinghai plateau, an ecologically fragile area. However, the regulatory mechanisms …

CONTEXT Farming systems face dual pressures of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions to mitigate climate change and safeguarding food security to adapt to climate …

In sugarcane cropping systems, high rates of N fertiliser are typically applied as sub-surface
bands creating localised zones of high mineral N concentrations. This in combination with …
