Carbon trading and the growing interest in biofuel production from sugarcane necessitate the ability to measure gains and losses of soil organic C which may occur as a result. Modelling and soil sampling suggest that changes in soil C are likely to be < 1 t C/ha/y....
Recent developments in water and carbon trading and biofuel production highlight the need to document the water and carbon balances of Australia’s cropping systems including sugarcane. This paper presents the results of studies of evaporation and CO2 exchange...
It is increasingly evident that emissions of nitrogen gases from agriculture to the atmosphere represent a loss of N to agriculture and can have important environmental effects. The main gases of concern are the direct greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) and the...
