Environmental impacts of crop production systems in subtropical plateau regions: case study of Yunnan, China by Yousheng He, Minghao Li, Wei Zhang, Xinping Chen, Zhengxiong Zhao, Zhi Yao

“…GHG emissions, AP, and EP from the production of rice, wheat, and maize are expected to decrease by 43.0–59.5%, 51.5–64.5%, and 57.4–71.5%, respectively (scenario 4, S4). Based on these findings, we propose that com-prehensive agricultural management measures can reduce the negative impacts of crop production on the environment in subtropical plateau areas and help achieve sustainable agricultural development.…”
