Energy use efficiency, GHG emissions, and carbon efficiency of paddy rice production in Iran

The energy efficiency, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and carbon efficiency of paddy rice production were analysed in Sari in the Mazandaran province of Iran during 2011–2012. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with paddy producers. The results showed that the net energy gain was 27,932 MJ ha-1 and energy efficiency was 1.83 during production. The results o...

Carbon Emissions from Biomass Burning

Carbon Balance Implications of Forest Biomass Production Potential

Forests in boreal and temperate forest-ecosystems have importance for carbon balance since they sequester large amount of atmospheric carbon by uptake of carbon-dioxide during photosynthesis, and transfer and store carbon in the forest ecosystem. Forest material can be used for bio-fuel purposes and substitute fossil fuels, and supply wood products, which can replace carbon-and-energy-intensive...
