Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the effects of land use and land use changes (LULUC) on greenhouse gas emissions in the Campos Gerais region of southern Brazil, which contributes significantly to global carbon emissions.
- Results indicated that between 1930 and 2017, LULUC was responsible for 91% of GHG emissions, with fossil fuel combustion becoming the primary source after 1985.
- Adopting conservation agriculture practices could significantly reduce emissions, potentially allowing the agricultural sector to act as a net carbon sink while enhancing ecosystem services over the next century.
