Evaluation and Forecast of Contribution of Gardening to Maintaining Low-Carbon Republican Economic Development. Case of Kabardino-Balkarian Republic

This article evaluates and forecasts the contribution of gardening to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for the adaptation of agriculture to climate change by the example of the South of Russia. The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential contribution of gardening to maintaining low-carbon economic development by the example of Kabardino-Balkaria. Greenhouse gas emissions and absorption are estimated by the example of a pilot intensive trellis dwarf gardening project in Kabardino-Balkaria in an area of 120 ha. In addition, the potential carbon deposition levels of intensive orchards in the Republic are estimated for the period up to 2029.
