2 emissions lowered •
hrough 'soil conservation
For Agriculture 'and Agri-Fooil
Canada (AAFC) 1+i/hero-Meteorologist Dr,
Ray Desjardins the question of -green-
house gas emissions into the atmosphere
is a very itnportanv one.
For 13r. Desjardins, the question was
how does cultivating the soil contrbute
to the problem and what part would
• developed lands play in the future?
Armed with the latest computer tech-
nology and using the Century model, Dr.
Desjardins and his colleagues at AAPC's
Eastern Cereal and Oilseed Research
Centre in Ottawafound their ansvver.
Since 1990, Dr. Desjardins' group cal-
culates 17 per cent of cultivated lands in
Canada have been- increasing its content
• of carbon. '
•
With the.rate of decline in CO2 emis-
sions they were seeing, Dr. Desjardins
projected forward to the. year 2010 to
Take a promising predictiOn.
Making CO2 Gains
the year 2000 we calculate that 55
per cent of cultivated lands will be
increasing their 'carbon content, and by
2010 Canada's agricultural soils could be
gaining 10kg of carbon per hectare per
' year," he said,
The great reversal in CO2 emissions is
not due to any real •mystery, Dr
Desjardins says, but is •a, direct result of
the conservation practices more and more
Canadian farmers are adopting. •
Traditional deep -furrow ['lowing stirs
the soil causing it to oxidize and release
CO2. But with new no -till farming,
reduced summer fallowing and' more
,effective' use of chemical fertilizers, the .
carbon is left in the soil. •
•if' those Practices 'are continued and,
encouraged,. Dr. Desjardins predicts that
Within 30 years, Canada's agricultural
soils could gain 400 million tonnes of
CO2: - • '
Contributing CO2 ' ," •
• For decades, and, through a nuMber of
sources,' hurnanldnd has been adding to
the =leant of greenhbuse gases such as .
carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous
'oxide in the atmosphere. ' • •
It is the accepted theory that these
gases contribute to global warming by
trapping heat in the'atmosphere.
Governments around the world met in
Kyoto, Japan in early December to dis=
' cuss the global warming phenomenon
and set legally -binding emission 'targets
for greenhouse gases.
With most countries being pressured;
to reduce their ernissIon Jevels- in the
coming years, Dr.- besjardins and his fel-
low; researchers feel their study is'a posi-
tive step in that direction, for Canada. :
• , "Any , reduction we can make in our
greenhouse gas„emiss,ions is good' for' the, ,
environment," said Dr Desjardins.
"We think, it is an important first step
he added: , • .
Over the comin. months, Dr. '
Desjardins and his.fellow researchers will
improve upon,their estimates. This will
include looking at other greenhouse gases' -
such as methane and nitrous oxide; ,
