Agriculture is responsible for emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4). Production of these gases in farmland soil results from biological processes like organic matter decomposition, nitrification and denitrification, and highly depends on organic matter inputs. We aim at analyzing the effects of organic matter amendment on GHGs emissions. In particular, we are interested in agricultural soil amended with livestock compost.
