Summary
MAGGnet is an international research network established in 2012 to collate and synthesise agricultural greenhouse gas mitigation research across member countries of the Global Research Alliance. The network has compiled standardised metadata from 315 experimental studies in 20 countries, focusing primarily on soil carbon and nitrous oxide emissions, along with crop yield and biomass outcomes. The platform provides a shared meta-database to leverage limited resources and harmonise global understanding of GHG mitigation strategies in agriculture.
UK applicability
As a UK signatory to the Global Research Alliance, the United Kingdom can contribute to and benefit from MAGGnet's standardised data collection and comparative analyses across temperate and continental agroecosystems. The network's focus on crop yield alongside emissions measurements is particularly relevant to UK policy objectives of climate mitigation without compromising food security.
Key measures
Soil carbon, nitrous oxide emissions, grain yield, stover biomass, root biomass, study duration and completion status
Outcomes reported
The study compiled standardised metadata from 315 experimental studies across 20 countries investigating agricultural GHG mitigation practices. Key measurements included soil carbon and nitrous oxide emissions (in >80% of studies), along with grain yield, stover and root biomass assessments.
