Greenhouse Gases from Agriculture
The rapidly changing climate due to increased emission of (GHGs) is leading to an increased occurrence of extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves. The three major GHGs (CO2), (CH4),...

Micrometeorological Methods for Greenhouse Gas Measurement
Micrometeorological techniques are useful ( ) emissions from larger areas (i.e. entire fields) should be integrated. The theory and the various techniques such as flux-gradient, aerodynamic, and as well as...

Direct and Indirect Effects of Soil Fauna, Fungi and Plants on Greenhouse Gas Fluxes
Soils harbour diverse a wide range of soil microorganisms. These fauna and microorganisms directly contribute to ( ) fluxes via their respiratory and metabolic activities and indirectly by changing the p...

Chapter
Isotopic Techniques to Measure N2O, N2 and Their Sources
are usually the result of several simultaneous processes. Furthermore, some gases such are very difficult to quantify and require special techniques. Therefore, in this chapter, the focus is on . tec...

Methodology for Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Agricultural Soils Using Non-isotopic Techniques
Several approaches exist for (GHGs), , , , from soil surfaces. The principle that are used from agricultural sites are chamber-based techniques. Both open and techniques are in use; however, the maj...
