Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Maize and soybean yields reached 80–100% of site potential.
- Association Soil CO2 fluxes associated with crop growth, temperature and moisture.
- Observation Intensive management did not consistently raise soil CO2 efflux.
- Observation Soil organic carbon rose in continuous maize systems.
- Observation Soil organic carbon fell in CS-rec.
- Observation Soil organic carbon remained unchanged in CS-int.
- Association N2O peaks associated with heat and soil moisture.
- Association N2O peaks related less clearly to soil nitrate.
- Observation Intensive systems only occasionally exceeded recommended N2O fluxes.
- Observation Fertilizer-induced N2O emissions were 1.9% to 3.5% in 2003.
- Observation Fertilizer-induced N2O emissions were 0.8% to 1.5% in 2004.
- Observation Fertilizer-induced N2O emissions were 0.4% to 0.5% in 2005.
- Observation Four systems had no consistent differences in fertilizer-induced N2O emissions.
- Observation All four cropping systems were net greenhouse-gas sources.
- Observation Intensive management did not significantly increase GWP.
- Observation Maize ethanol cut life-cycle emissions by 33–38% against gasoline.
- Recommendation Authors conclude optimized management can keep net GHG emissions low.
