Emissions from Crops

Information Comments (0)

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 National GHG Inventories (http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/gp/english/). GHG emissions are provided by country, regions and special groups, with global coverage, relative to the period 1961-present (with annual updates) and with projections for 2030 and 2050, expressed both as Gg CH4 and Gg CO2eq. Implied emission factor for CH4 and activity data are also provided.

Emissions generated from agrifood systems

This data provides information on emissions generated from agrifood systems. The domain provides data on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agrifood systems, computed using IPCC Tier 1 methods. It covers emissions from farm gate activities, land use change, and pre- and post-production food processes, including methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and fluorinated gases (F-…
Emissions from fires

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 …
