Summary
MAGGnet is an international research network established in 2012 to inventory and synthesise agricultural greenhouse gas mitigation studies across 46 Global Research Alliance member countries. The network has compiled metadata from 315 completed experimental studies in 20 countries, with over 80% measuring soil carbon and nitrous oxide emissions. This collaborative platform leverages limited-resource investments to create a globally shared meta-database focused on GHG mitigation science.
UK applicability
As a member of the Global Research Alliance, the United Kingdom's agricultural GHG research likely contributes to and benefits from MAGGnet's standardised data compilation and cross-national synthesis. The network's methodology and metadata framework may inform UK policy on agricultural emissions mitigation and evidence synthesis for farming systems.
Key measures
Soil carbon, nitrous oxide emissions, grain yield, stover biomass, root biomass; metadata from 315 experimental studies compiled using standardised spreadsheet
Outcomes reported
The study compiled metadata from 315 experimental studies across 20 countries to create a standardised inventory of agricultural greenhouse gas mitigation research. It documented measurement frequencies for soil carbon, nitrous oxide emissions, and plant variables including grain yield, stover and root biomass.
