CO2 and N2O emissions from an Andisol in Chile under a no-till system using non-fixed closed chambers

Chile has different types of soil and climate conditions that favor a wide range of agricultural activities that can generate potential atmospheric contamination like greenhouse gases (GHG). Nevertheless, the contribution of agricultural soils to atmospheric emissions has yet to be measured in Chile...

CO2 and N2O emissions from an Andisol in Chile under a no-till system using non-fixed closed chambers
description Chile has different types of soil and climate conditions that favor a wide range of agricultural activities that can generate potential atmospheric contamination like greenhouse gases (GHG).
