Alicia Ledo,Pete Smith,Ayalsew Zerihun,Jeanette Whitaker,José Luis Vicente-Vicente,Zhangcai Qin,Niall P. McNamara,Yuri Lopes Zinn,Mireia Llorente,Mark A. Liebig,Matthias Kuhnert,Marta Dondini,Axel Don,Eugenio Díaz-Pinés,Ashim K. Datta,Haakon Bakka,Eduardo Aguilera,Jon Hillier +17 more
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is presented showing that the FAO perennialization strategy is reasonable, underscoring the role of perennial crops as a useful component of climate change mitigation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cost-effective opportunities for climate change mitigation in Indian agriculture
Tek B. Sapkota,Sylvia H. Vetter,M.L. Jat,Smita Sirohi,Paresh B. Shirsath,Rajbir Singh,Hanuman S. Jat,Pete Smith,Jon Hillier,Clare M. Stirling +9 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that by 2030, business-as-usual GHG emissions from the agricultural sector in India would be 515 Megatonne CO2 equivalent per year with a technical mitigation potential of 85.5 MtCO2e per year through adoption of various mitigation practices, and Mitigation measures and associated costs and benefits of adoption were presented in the form of Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Nitrous Oxide Emissions From Tropical And Sub-Tropical Agricultural Systems - A Review And Modelling Of Emission Factors
Fabrizio Albanito,Ulrike Lebender,Thomas Cornulier,Tek B. Sapkota,Frank Brentrup,Clare M. Stirling,Jon Hillier +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report an up-to-date review of the information published in peer-review journals on direct N2O emissions from agricultural systems in tropical and sub-tropical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Manning,Pietro Goglio,Michele Seghetta,Adrian G. Williams,James A. Harris,Marta Dondini,Jack Walton,Joanna Isobel House,Pete Smith +19 more
TL;DR: This analysis assesses a range of practices already proposed to deliver soil carbon sequestration (SCS), and distil these into a subset of specific measures that offer a framework and reference point for holistic assessment of the impacts of SCS.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an example application of the new Estimation of Carbon in Organic Soils - Sequestration and Emissions (ECOSSE) model to estimate net change in soil C in response to changes in land use in Scotland.
