Carbon and nitrogen emissions from stored manure and cropped fields in irrigated mountain oases of Oman

Abstract: 
"Little is known about gaseous carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) emissions from traditional terrace agriculture in irrigated high mountain agroecosystems of the subtropics. In an effort towards filling this knowledge gap measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3) and dinitrous oxide (N2O) were taken with a mobile photo- acoustic infrared multi-gas monitor on manure-filled PE-fibre storage bags and on flood-irrigated untilled and tilled fields in three mountain oases of the northern Omani Al Jabal al Akhdar mountains."
