        Special Issue Description

        Although they only make up a small fraction of the atmosphere nowadays, greenhouse gases (GHGs) are essential to life on earth. Without them, the light that the earth’s surface absorbs and then re-emits as long-wave radiation (heat) would instantly disappear into space. As a result, a significant portion of the 161 W m2 received and re-emitted by the earth’s surface is briefly kept in the atmosphere, warming the biosphere to a temperature that is suitable for human habitation. Although radiative feedbacks complicate the narrative, in general, changes in atmospheric GHG concentrations will cause changes in the earth’s surface temperature. The biosphere has warmed in lockstep with rising atmospheric GHG. By storing soil organic carbon, the agriculture industry has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (SOC). An indoor simulation of soil FTCs was used to examine variations in soil environmental variables, accessible carbon and nitrogen, and microbial biomass. Since soil carbon and nitrogen are the reaction substrates and primary contributors to their respective biochemical transformations, soil carbon and nitrogen availability as well as microbial biomass are crucial for soil GHG emissions. Agriculture methods significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions. There is currently little information on how organic versus non-organic farming affects emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O).

        Manuscript Submission information

        Manuscripts should be submitted online by registering and logging in to this link. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed.
        Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent on email address:[email protected] for announcement on this website.

        Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
