Overview of the biogenic sources of atmospheric trace compounds due to agricultural activities
Tóm tắt
All human activities profoundly affect the chemical composition and properties of the atmosphere. The present overview highlights the impact of agricultural practices, including livestock raising, on the biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nitrogen and discusses the relevant environmental issues. Emissions from agriculture significantly contribute to the atmospheric budget of methane and nitrous oxide, which in turn contribute to the greenhouse effect. Agricultural activities are also the predominant source of ammonia to the atmosphere, so affecting the acidity of atmospheric depositions. A minor role is expected from agriculture in the production of tropospheric ozone through nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compound emissions.
