Measurement and Modeling Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Ferric Luvisols in the Guinea Savanna Agro-ecological Zone of Ghana

W. K. Atakora & P. K. Kwakye · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2016

Agricultural sector in Ghana contributes to about 60% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and is mainly characterized by fertilizer application to improve depleting soil fertility. With the increase in population and demand for increased productivity, application of inorganic fertili...

Carbon Dioxide Emission from Ferric Luvisols: The Role of Mineral Nitrogen Fertilizers and Soil Temperature in the Guinea Savanna Agro-ecological Zone of Ghana

W. K. Atakora & P. K. Kwakye · Journal of Agriculture and Ecology Research International · 2016

Soils in the Guinea Savanna Agro-ecological zone of Ghana are inherently low in fertility, especially nitrogen. Furthermore, organic matter is very low as a result of total removal of crop residue followed by animal grazing and annual phenomenal bush burning. This has led to a re...
