Pasture management and greenhouse gases emissions

Pastures are important environments worldwide because they offer many ecosystem services and sustain meat milk production. However, pastures ecosystems responsible for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. The major GHGs include CO2, CH4, N2O. present review summarizes GHG emission from pasture discusses strategies to mitigate this problem. In pastures, emissions originate animal excretion, fertilization, organic matter decomposition. Emissions of specific gases can be measured based on certain factors that were recently updated by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change in 2019.
