The Influence of Grain Legume and Tillage Strategies on CO<sub>2</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O Gas Exchange under Varied Environmental Conditions
By this in vitro study addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from soil-plant mesocosms, we suggest a method to investigate the joint effects of environmental conditions, growth of plants, and agricultural soil management. Soils from two long-term agricultural trials in France were placed in clim...
