Application of DNDC biogeochemistry model to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from Italian agricultural areas at high spatial resolution

▶ DNDC was able to represent the C and N cycles satisfactory at the Beano site ▶ Modelled N2O emission factor from fertilizers was lower than the IPCC one ▶ Italian GHG emissions were 2.1, 1.5 and −0.08 Mt CO2 equiv. for CO2, N2O and CH4 ▶ Simulations confirmed the minimum tillage as a C sequestration practice at national level.
