Summary
MAGGnet is an international research network established in 2012 to inventory and synthesise agricultural greenhouse gas mitigation research across 46 countries. Through standardised metadata compilation from 315 completed experimental studies, the network has created a globally shared meta-database and contributed to GHG modelling efforts, demonstrating how coordinated international research frameworks can leverage limited resources to address global-scale climate mitigation in farming systems.
UK applicability
As a network methodology paper, findings are broadly applicable to UK participation in international GHG mitigation research. The standardised spreadsheet approach could support UK researchers in contributing to comparative, multi-country analyses of mitigation strategies relevant to temperate arable and grassland systems.
Key measures
Soil carbon, nitrous oxide emissions, grain yield, stover biomass, root biomass
Outcomes reported
The study compiled standardised metadata from 315 experimental studies across 20 countries investigating agricultural greenhouse gas mitigation strategies. Measurements focused on soil carbon, nitrous oxide emissions, and crop productivity variables including grain yield, stover biomass, and root biomass.
