“…On the other hand, carbon sources refer to carbon emissions and are seen as undesirable outputs [17,18]. Among them, some scholars discussed agricultural carbon emissions from a single-dimensional perspective, such as planting [17][18][19][20], livestock and poultry breeding [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and fishery production [26][27][28][29]. Some scholars integrated multidimensional carbon sources for investigation.…”

The Spatial Disequilibrium and Dynamic Evolution of the Net Agriculture Carbon Effect in China

Considering the comparative perspective of the net agricultural carbon effect in China’s three major functional grain production areas, the Dagum Gini coefficient, kernel density estimation and Markov chain analysis are used to investigate the spatial disequilibrium and dynamic evolution characteristics of the net agricultural carbon effect in China from 2000 to 2019. The results show that the overall net agricultural carbon sink in China is on a fluctuating upward trend, and the net agricultural carbon sink in the main production areas is higher than that in main marketing areas and balanced production and marketing areas. There are obvious differences in the net agricultural carbon sink between different areas, and the differences are expanding; inter-regional differences are the most significant, with the contribution of intra-regional differences second and the contribution of intensity of transvariation the least. The kernel density curve shows that the absolute differences are increasing and that there are gradients and multipolar differentiation within the area. The Markov transfer matrix reflects that the net agricultural carbon effect in China is highly volatile and has a strong internal mobility. The probability of upward shift in an area increases when it is adjacent to a high-level area, and the net carbon effect of agriculture in high-level areas has a strong stability. Based on this, each area should build on its own comparative advantages and explore targeted pathways to reducing emissions and increasing sinks in agriculture while strengthening inter-regional communication and cooperation. It is necessary to build a synergistic mechanism to enhance the net carbon effect of agriculture, which will ultimately help to achieve the “double carbon” target.

The article investigates the scientific literature regarding N 2 O emissions according to housing and manure management in poultry and pig buildings. The majority of the N 2 O is emitted from manure storages and housing space, with small amounts emitted from the surface of passages. Many factors must be considered in successful emission evaluation, including season of the year, amount and depth of the bedding, animal density, type and floor space, feeding and watering practices, ventilation, temperature, and relative humidity. The liquid manure from poultry housing systems produces greater emissions of N 2 O than natural and force-dried manure. The influencing factors appeared to be manure removal frequency and the dry matter content of the manure. There are more housing types in pig barns, which differ in bedding, floor, and manure deposition. The highest N 2 O emissions were found in the sawdust bedding, and N 2 O production in slatted floor housing is lowest. This paper reports on technical options for mitigating emissions from poultry and swine contributions. The actual rate of N 2 O emission is highly dependent on the management strategies implemented on a farm. Consequently, improvements in management practices will affect future N 2 O emissions. Finally, emission factors are listed in a table.

Livestock farm waste contributes substantially to annual worldwide emissions of GHG (Greenhouse Gases), including CH 4 (Methane) and CO 2 (Carbon Dioxide). However, despite evidence of global climate change and its adverse health effects, studies on anthropogenic contributions to the increasing levels of GHG, particularly from livestock waste management practices, have not been adequately explored, especially in less developed countries. This study determined waste management practices and outdoor levels of CH 4 and CO 2 at three selected livestock farms (A-C) in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Each study farm consisted of poultry, cattle and pig units. A 30-point observational checklist documented adequacy of solid waste management practices. Ambient concentrations of CH 4 and CO 2 at farm buildings and at waste disposal sites were monitored every other day, twice each day of monitoring (morning and evening hours), for eight weeks during months of September-November in 2013. Average scores for the waste management practices for Farms A-C were 29.6%, 33.3% and 18.5%, respectively. Morning and evening CH 4 concentrations in parts per million (ppm) at main buildings of Farms A-C were 2,538 ± 773 and 1,916 ± 662, 2,325 ± 773 and 1,180 ± 483, and 2,389 ± 687 and 1,854 ± 571, respectively. Morning and evening CO 2 concentrations (ppm) at Farms A-C main buildings were 350 ± 130 and 330 ± 110, 470 ± 100 and 440 ± 100, and 430 ± 80 and 400 ± 70, respectively. Morning and evening CH 4 concentrations (ppm) at Farms A-C waste disposal sites were 2,452 ± 495 and 1,614 ± 372, 1,527 ± 390 and 1,736 ± 269, and 2,345 ± 615 and 1,690 ± 387, respectively. Morning and evening CO 2 concentrations (ppm) at Farms A-C waste disposal sites were 330 ± 90, 370 ± 60 and 350 ± 30, respectively. Waste management practices were inadequate; solid waste management practices like infrequent evacuation of slurry waste and open burning of waste may have contributed to the production of CH 4 and CO 2 . This study suggested proper handling, removal and disposal of farm waste which can reduce production of GHGs like CH 4 and CO 2 .
