Lorsque des agriculteurs demandent 脿 l鈥檃gronome Joann Whalen comment r茅duire leurs 茅missions de gaz 脿 effet de serre (GES), elle leur r茅pond qu鈥檌l leur suffit de modifier certaines de leurs pratiques. 芦 Il faut comprendre que les microorganismes du sol produisent naturellement des GES, explique-t-elle. Comme ces organismes ont besoin de carbone organique et d鈥檃zote (nitrates), on peut 鈥渏ouer鈥� sur la disponibilit茅 de ces 茅l茅ments pour diminuer leur activit茅 et, par cons茅quent, sur les 茅missions de GES. 禄
