Measuring methane
What happens when the unit of measurement that scientists have been relying upon to measure greenhouse gas emissions turns out to be inaccurate?
You wind up with inaccurate policy decisions and public perceptions about agriculture, and in particular, ruminant production, according to Logan Thompson, Kansas State University assistant professor. He spoke at the 2023 K-State Beef Stocker Field Day, Sept. 28. Thompson’s research focuses on measuring greenhouse gas emissions in grazing systems, and how we might be able to use grazing management to improve the ecosystem.
