Abstract | Soil carbon sequestration is being considered as a potential pathway to mitigate climate change. Cropland soils could provide a sink for carbon that can be modified by farming practices; however, they can also act as a source of greenhouse gases (GHG), including not only nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4), but also the upstream carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with agronomic management. |
Keywords | agronomic management; life cycle analysis; N2O and CH4 emission; net greenhouse gas balance; soil organic; upstream CO2 emissions |
