Leaching and Runoff emissions and how to reduce them
A quick summary of why leaching and runoff represents part of my emissions and how I can address it.
- Where do leaching and runoff emissions come from?
Nitrogen leaches into groundwater or runs off into waterways, indirectly leading to nitrous oxide emissions downstream.
- How can I reduce my leaching and runoff emissions?
- Use buffer strips or vegetation along waterways.
- Apply nitrogen in split doses matching crop demands.
- Incorporate soil amendments like biochar to retain nutrients.
