One of the main sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) and air pollutants (including ammonia) emissions that promoting climate change is agriculture sector. Considerable part of GHG and ammonia emissions from agriculture in Baltic region is forming in dairy farms. The aim of the research is to estimate differences between conventional and organic dairy farms in context of GHG and ammonia emissions, taking into account livestock feeding and manure management pra...

The aim of the research is to determine emitted greenhouse gases (GHG) and ammonia emission distinction between two fertilizers types: ammonia nitrate and carbamide (urea). One of the most fertile soils in Latvia are located in Zemgale Region and it is used in research. Samples of tilled soil are used for the research according to the conditions of soil. One of influential factors of the GHG emissions is soil moisture, because humidity in combination with temperature controls the activity of microorganisms and oth...
