Regionalne zróżnicowanie Polski pod względem emisji z rolnictwa metanu i podtlenku azotu a intensywność produkcji rolniczej

This paper deals with reasons for the dissimilarity of greenhouse gas emissions (methane and nitrous oxide), per 1 ha UAA, in various regions of Poland in 1996. Division of a whole Poland into regions was made according to a methodology applied by the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Food Economy (IERiGŻ) and sources for research were derived from releases of Central Statistical Office (GUS). The results show that the main cause for differentiation of above mentioned gases emissions between selected macro-regions is different level of farm production intensity, particularly the livestock numbers per 1 ha UAA and the level of nitrogenous fertilisers input per 1 ha UAA.
