Collecting the Carbon Data Needed for Climate-Smart Agriculture in Saskatchewan
- Research Topic: Fertility/Climate/Environment
- Back to Project Listing
There is no direct annual data on net carbon footprints of Saskatchewan cropping systems. This project will address this gap by providing spatially and temporally integrated data on greenhouse gas (GHG; N2O and CO2) emissions at the field scale level. This information will be used to determine net ecosystem exchange and the net carbon footprint of the cropping system.
