Abstract
Global average temperatures have been steadily on the increase over time, largely due to anthropogenic activities that accelerate the production and accumulation of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) in the lower atmosphere. Agriculture is a significant contributor of such gases, emitting approximately 20% of Australia’s national figures. Research into how to identify and quantify major agricultural sources so as to determine appropriate sequestration measures is vital. This is necessary to enable Australia to realise its Kyoto targets through the first commitment period (2008 - 2012) and beyond.
