Assessing the Impact of Different Cropping Systems on Carbon Sequestration and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. MSC

Abstract:
This research project aims to assess the impact of different cropping systems on carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Agriculture is a significant contributor to GHG emissions, primarily through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). However, certain cropping systems have the potential to mitigate these emissions and enhance carbon sequestration, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation efforts. This study will involve field experiments, data collection, and analysis to evaluate the effects of various cropping systems on carbon sequestration rates and GHG emissions. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into sustainable agricultural practices that can help reduce GHG emissions and enhance carbon sequestration in agricultural landscapes.
