Characterizing Net Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Environmental Performance of Organic Field Crops in Ontario and Quebec
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-20)Food production systems are at the heart of one of humankind’s greatest challenges – meeting the nutritional demands of a population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050 while limiting contributions to environmental ... -
Investigating Food Waste Diversion and Compost Use in Urban Agriculture for Soil Management in Mwanza, Tanzania
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-16)African countries are urbanizing at a rapid rate. Studies on African agriculture have focused on rural food production, but research on urban agriculture may be key to ensuring urban food and soil security. In this ... -
Soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics and greenhouse gas mitigation in intercrop agroecosystems in Balcarce, Argentina
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-08)Through appropriate soil and crop residue management, soil can function as a sink for carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) for the mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHG). No research has yet investigated the potential of intercrop ... -
Spatial Patterns of Soil Organic Carbon Distribution in Canadian Forest Regions: An Eco-region Based Exploratory Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-03)As the largest carbon reservoir in ecosystems, soil accounts for more than twice as much carbon storage as that of vegetation biomass or the atmosphere. The goal of this study is to examine spatial patterns of soil ...
