Evaluation indices of greenhouse gas mitigation technologies in cropland ecosystem
2015
In spite of the increasing studies on greenhouse gas( GHG) emissions mitigation techno-logies,there is still a lack of systematic indices for evaluation of their overall impacts in croplands. In this study,we collected all the indices relating to greenhouse gas emissions and analyzed each index following the principles of representativeness,objectivity,completeness,dominance and operability. Finally,we proposed evaluation indices for mitigation technologies based on the current situation of China. Crop yield per unit area was proposed as a constrained index,and greenhouse gas emissions intensity,defined as GHG emissions per unit of produced yield,was proposed as comprehensive index to evaluate the greenhouse effect of various croplands mitigation technologies.Calculation of GHG emissions intensity involved yield,change of soil organic carbon,direct N2 O emissions,paddy CH4 emissions and direct and indirect emissions from inputs into croplands. By following these evaluation indices,the greenhouse effect of the technologies could be well evaluated,which could provide scientific basis for their further adoption.
