Information Table Analyze Export API Comments (0)

The FAOSTAT domain Land Cover under the Agri-Environmental Indicators section contains land cover information organized by the land cover classes of the international standard system for Environmental and Economic Accounting Central Framework (SEEA CF). The land cover information is compiled from publicly available Global Land Cover (GLC) maps: a) MODIS land cover types based on the Land Cover Classification System, LCCS (2001–2021); b) The European Spatial Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) annual land cover maps (1992–2020) produced by the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL)-Geomatics and now under the European Copernicus Program; c) The annual land cover maps which were produced under the European Copernicus Global Land Service (CGLS) (CGLS land cover, containing discrete land cover categorization for the period 2015–2019), with spatial resolution 100m; and d) 4) The WorldCover maps of the European Space Agency —available for the years 2020 and 2021, produced at 10m resolution.

In particular it defines a number of services such as agriculture, forestry, industry, transport, housing and other services that use land as a natural and/or an economic resource. Land use has to be distinguished from Land Cover which refers instead to to the bio-physical cover…

Agrifood systems emissions by sector

The FAOSTAT domain Emissions shares disseminates indicators on sectoral shares of total national emissions as well as indicators of per capita emissions. Sectoral shares are computed by agrifood system component (farm gate, land use change, pre- and postproduction) as well as by sectors of the National GHG Inventories used for reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Chan…
Carbon Flux to the Atmosphere from Land-Use Changes

In summary, this database provides estimates of regional and global net carbon fluxes, on a year-by-year basis from 1850 through 2005, resulting from changes in land use (such as harvesting of forest products and clearing for agriculture), taking into account not only the initial removal and oxidation of the carbon in the vegetation, but also subsequent regrowth and changes in soil carbon.
