Aims Grasslands are important agricultural production systems, where ecosystem
functioning is affected by land management practices. Grass-legume mixtures are commonly …

No tillage management is being encouraged nowadays to prevent soil erosion and
contribute to carbon (C) sequestration. However, N fertilizer should be managed properly to …

The efficacy of alternative nitrogenous fertilizers for mitigating greenhouse gas and
ammonia emissions from a rice-wheat cropping system in northern India was addressed in a …

Nitrification inhibitors, originally proposed for nitrate leaching mitigation, are recommended
as effective nitrous oxide (N 2 O) mitigation strategies. Several compounds have been …

Despite only occupying 5% of the worldwide arable area, fruit tree crops are of vital
economic importance in many regions. Intensive cropping practices can lead to greenhouse …

Nitrogen (N) amendment of soil ecosystems alters GHG fluxes to the atmosphere by
increasing nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emission and affecting methane (CH 4) uptake in well …

Positive relationships between biodiversity functioning have been found in communities of
plants but also of soil microbes. The beneficial effects of diversity are thought to be driven by …

Grassland soils serve as a biological sink and source of the potent greenhouse gases
(GHG) methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). The underlying mechanisms responsible for …

Global climate change, particularly drought, is expected to alter grassland methane (CH 4)
oxidation, a key natural process against atmospheric greenhouse gas accumulation, yet the …

The influences of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and topographical position on soil
methane (CH 4) uptake have been intensively investigated; however, it remains unclear …
