Farmland Ecosystem Holds Key to Curbing Carbon Emissions, Boosting Sustainable Agriculture
The study looked at ways to reduce carbon emissions from farmland and improve sustainable agriculture. Researchers calculated carbon absorption and emission levels, finding that fertilizer production was a major source of carbon emissions. They also found that carbon absorption in farmland initially decreased but then increased due to changes in farming practices. Factors like crop yield, irrigation, and machinery use affected carbon levels. Suggestions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions included adjusting crop types, improving fertilizer practices, and changing irrigation methods.
