CO₂ emissions from cultivated peat soils may be lower than assumed
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Organic soils cover less than 9% of Norway's land area, and about 65,000 hectares are currently used as agricultural land. Emissions from these areas are presently estimated at more than 2 million tons of CO₂ equivalents per year. This is equivalent to the emissions from 400,000 fossil-fueled cars.
