Providing low-budget estimations of carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural wetlands por Lloyd, C.R., Rebelo, Lisa-Maria, Finlayson, C. Max

“…The guidance is highly applicable to, and aimed at, wetlands such as those in the tropics and sub-tropics, where complex research infrastructure may not exist, or agricultural wetlands located in remote regions, where frequent visits by monitoring scientists prove difficult. In conclusion, the proposed measurement-modelling approach provides guidance on an affordable solution for mitigation and for investigating the consequences of wetland agricultural practice on GHG production, ecological resilience and possible changes to agricultural yields, variety choice and farming practice.…”
