Contribution of Winter Wheat and Barley Cultivars to Climate Change via Soil Respiration in Continental Croatia

Agricultural greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by the cultivation of cultivars with lower carbon footprint. Considering the hypothesis that there are differences in soil respiration, due to differences in physiological and morphological characteristics of wheat and barley, the aim of this stud...
