This open access book is an outcome of the collaboration between the Soil and Water Management & Crop Nutrition Section, Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Vienna, Austria, and the German Science Foundation research unit DASIM (Denitrification in Agricultural Soils: Integrated control and Modelling at various scales) and other institutes. It presents protocols, methodologies and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for measuring GHGs from different agroecosystems and animals using isotopic and related techniques that can also be used to validate climate-smart agricultural practices to mitigate GHGs. The material featured is useful for beginners in the field wanting an overview of the current methodologies, but also for experts who need hands-on descriptions of said methodologies. The book is written in form of a monograph and consists of eight chapters.
Dr. Mohammad Zaman is working as a Soil Scientist/Plant Nutritionist covering countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East, Europe, Central and Latin America on mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and developing climate smart agricultural practices for enhancing food production and minimizing land degradation and environmental sustainability using nuclear and related techniques. Prior to joining the SWMCN Section, he worked for 22 years in GHG mitigations, enhancing soil fertility and integrated plant nutrient management at different research, academic, commercial and international organizations in both developing and developed countries. Zaman is author and coauthor of one book, several book chapters and over 65 research publications in refereed journals. Zaman has won several awards for his professional achievements including the IAEA Superior Achievement Award in 2018, and the IAEA Best Technical Cooperation Award in 2018 and Lincoln University, Canterbury New Zealand Doctorate Scholarship in 1995. >41) and works as an expert for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) especially in the training of methods to quantify greenhouse gas emissions. He is married, and has two children, and when he is not doing science, he is interested in gardening and science history (e.g. collector of early Liebig trading cards). Lee Heng is working as a Section Head of Soil and Water Management & Crop Nutrition (SWMCN) Subprogram in the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture. She has more than 27 years' experience in soil-plant-water interactions, agricultural water management and water use efficiency, integrated nutrient water interactions, and diffuse pollution control for sustainable agricultural production systems, at both national and international levels. Her work is covering countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Central and Latin America on sustainable land and water management for climate smart agriculture and the efficient use and conservation of agricultural resources for enhancing food production and environmental sustainability.
