Aproximación de factores locales de emisión de CO2 del suelo en pastizales naturales de Patagonia Norte bajo ganadería extensiva

Abstract

By ratifying the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change through Law No. 24,295, Argentina assumed a series of obligations. These include reporting greenhouse gas emissions through biennial inventories, national programs containing measures to mitigate and facilitate adequate adaptation to climate change, or any other information relevant to achieving the commitments assumed. The study of the global carbon cycle (C) is a priority for understanding the consequences of the accelerated increase in CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, as well as for designing strategies to reduce emissions and mitigate global climate change. This Final Integrative Project (FIP) aims to determine the maximum potential CO2 respiration (Rmax) from Northern Patagonian steppe soils in the context of extensive livestock farming, as this is an important activity for the local and regional economy, with soil C dynamics.
