The impact of nitrogen fertilizer use on greenhouse gas emissions in an oil palm plantation associated with land use change

The emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in an oil palm plantation associated with land use change have been evaluated on a site-specific basis. Nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from the application of nitrogen fertilizers during the growth stages of the palm oil were analyzed for palms of different ag...
