Greenhouse gas emissions in crop rotations with gras-clover in organic farming systems
Description:
The project aims to measure and derive region-specific emission factors for winter wheat produced in conventional and organic farming systems and for phases in grass-clover rotations critical for N2O emissions. The results serve for improving the German greenhouse gas emission reporting under the UNFCCC and to develop possible methods for reducing N2O emissions in the nitrogen management of grass-clover rotations in organic farming.
