Emissions from fires

Information Table Analyze Export API Comments (0)

This data provides estimates of CH4, N2O, and CO2 emissions from biomass burning and fires in organic soils. Data are available by country for 1990–2022, using the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and the Supplement on Wetlands. It includes activity data (burned area and biomass) and GHG emissions. Emissions from fires in organic soils have high uncertainties and should be used cautiously. The domain also includes data reported to the UNFCCC. The IPCC recommends using the FAOSTAT database for national greenhouse gas inventory validation.

Emissions from drained organic soils

The FAOSTAT domain Drained organic soils consists of nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with the mineralization and oxidation of the organic matter in organic soils that are drained for agriculture (cropland and grassland). Data are computed geospatially, using the Tier 1 method of the IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas Inventories (IPCC, 2006; 2014) and …
Cultivation of organic soils

GHG emissions data from cultivation of organic soils are those associated with nitrous oxide gas from cultivated organic soils under cropland (item: cropland organic soils) and grassland (item: grassland organic soils). The FAOSTAT emissions database is computed following Tier 1 IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National GHG Inventories (http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/vol4.h…
Emissions from Crops

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from rice cultivation consist of methane gas from the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in paddy fields. The FAOSTAT emissions database is computed following Tier 1 IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National GHG Inventories (http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/vol4.html) and the IPCC 2000 Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in …
Emissions from Energy use in agriculture

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from direct energy use consist of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide gases associated with fuel burning and generation of electricity used in agriculture (including fisheries).
