Research Project: Agriculture Systems Measurements of Greenhouse Gases

Location: Soil Dynamics Research

Project Number: 6010-11120-008-011-N
Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Aug 1, 2014
End Date: Jul 31, 2019

Objective:
Evaluate the impact of various cropping and tillage systems on the flux of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

Approach:
Texas A&M University have provided a Shimadzu Gas Chromatograph System for use as the Soil Dynamics Research Unit (SDRU). SDRU, ARS will run gas samples that will be used in cooperative publications and will use the instrument as needed for other research projects.
