Technology design and effectiveness studies available in the scientific literature demonstrate future mitigation potentials of nitrogen-related greenhouse gases.
Hence, the validated settings of such landscape model would be passed on for prediction of mitigation potentials of different HMSs in Part II of this study.
The measured CH4 uptakes under rest from grazing, light grazing and moderate grazing were 5.04, 5.22 and 5.41 kg ha−1 y−1, respectively, which represent CH4 mitigation potentials of 107.4%, 114.8% and 122.6% compared with control treatment (2.43 kg ha−1 y−1), respectively (Table 2, management 2a, 2b and 2c rangeland).
Average CH4 emissions from livestock under rest from grazing, light grazing and moderate grazing were 2.81, 2.80 and 5.40 kg ha−1 y−1, respectively, which represent CH4 mitigation potentials of 65.2%, 65.3% and 33.1% compared with emissions under heavy grazing (8.07 kg ha−1 y−1), respectively (Table 2, management 2a, 2b and 2c livestock).
Measured CH4 uptake under reseeding, irrigation, fertilization and grazing prohibition treatments were 5.61, 6.05, 6.23 and 5.27 kg ha−1 y−1, respectively, which represent CH4 mitigation potentials of 12.2%, 21.0%, 24.6% and 5.4% compared with the control treatment (5.00 kg ha−1 y−1), respectively (Table 2, management 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d and 1e).
We found a decreasing trend in tree dieback with increasing elevation, which implies that the aboveground C-stocks and climate change mitigation potentials of the forest, was highly affected at lower elevations which is the drier part of the landscape.
Figure 7: Cumulative mitigation potential of biochar relative to bioenergy.
The mitigation potential of agricultural soils was calculated based on Eq. 1 reported by ref. 31.
Thus, the finding points to an increased N2O mitigation potential of organic farming over time.

Ageing phenomena may reduce substantially and up to 50% the mitigation potential of cool asphaltic materials.
