TS No. 99: A Technique for Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Peat Soil

The understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the oil palm environment have increased considerably over the last decade. Three of the most important GHG are nitrous dioxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). A number of potential strategirs has been formulated to reduce such emissions. The chamber method is commonly used to measure the emission of trace gases from the soil surface. The closed chamber method is based on the accumulation of soil gases in a cylindrical chamber with a known volume which is placed on the soil surface.
