Från marken skickas växthusgaser ut i atmosfären - kan jordbruket påverka detta? Klimatförändringarna har flera orsaker. Den största är naturligtvis avbränningen av fossila bränslen, men även mikrober i marken producerar stora mängder koldioxid när de bryter ner organiskt material i jorden. Andra typer av bakterier i jorden bryter ner metan som också är en viktig växthusgas. Nedbrytning av metan Rhizosphere interactions have high influence on the fluxes of carbon to and from terrestrial ecosystems. One very important part of the rhizosphere interactions is the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) which is defined as changes in the decomposition rate of soil organic matter (SOM) in response to labile organic carbon input from plant roots. Changes in decomposition of SOM affect nutrient availab
The requirement that taxable persons act in good faith first appeared in the Court of Justice’s case law in 1989. Given that there is an indisputable link between it and the rights to deduct input VAT, exempt intra-Community transactions and adjust improperly invoiced VAT, the requirement has potentially serious financial repercussions for taxable persons across the EU.
