Carbon dynamics and mitigation of methane and nitrous oxide emissions in agroecosystems with Pinus ponderosa(Dougl. Ex Laws)and native pastures established on degraded volcanic soils in the Chilean Patagonia
Introduction During the 1990s,terrestrial ecosystems captured approximately 36% of the total carbon liberated to the atmosphere by combustion of fossil fuels.Consequently,there is a growing interest to study the potential of carbon sequestration in presently non-sustainable agro-ecosystems worldwide,including remote regions such as Patagonia,where large areas of degraded pastures and eroded soils are also encountered,and ranchers face increasing pressures to maintain the cattle-raising productivity of their land.They are encouraged to adopt silvopastoral systems as more sustainable practices that satisfy their socioeconomic necessities and contribute to mitigate atmospheric CO2.
