| Summary: | In recent years, the issue of large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and greenhouse effect induced by them has already aroused people's great attention. Reducing greenhouse gas emission has become an urgent problem, which should be solved as soon as possible. CO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O are the major greenhouse gases, which play very important role in global warming. Agriculture is one of the most important greenhouse gases (CH<sub>4</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O) emission sources. For the purpose of making a positive contribution in reducing China's greenhouse gas emission and relieving global warming, several controlling methods for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Chinese agriculture were elaborated from the following aspects: reducing CH<sub>4</sub> emission from the rice fields and ruminant animals, utilization of agricultural organic wastes for CO<sub>2</sub> fertilization for the purpose of avoiding CH<sub>4</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O emissions during the process of straw burning and animal manure random dumping, as well as the adjustment of application methods of nitrogen fertilizer for reducing N<sub>2</sub>O emission from the soil. |
