Greenhouse Gas Quantification Project

The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Research Network is measuring the impact of management practices on nitrous oxide and methane emissions, and soil carbon sequestration. Data will be used by researchers to improve outcome estimates, including through the advancement of models and tools. The GHG Research Network is organized into four sub-teams that target GHG measurements in different agricultural sectors, including Land Emissions, Enteric Methane, Animal Housing and Manure Storage, and Tall Towers.

Each of these four sub-teams has developed GHG measurement protocols to provide technical information on the methods used to measure GHGs and applicable data processing procedures. Protocols outline the method used by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) for this specific project. Other efforts may use different protocols. The protocols are published to promote dialogue and feedback, and to serve as a reference for another research, when applicable. Protocols will be updated as needed.
