Selected environmental indicators at 1x1 km grid resolution- Green House Gas Emissions
Main Contributors: Ignacio Perez, Adrian Leip, Wolfgang Britz
The Green House Gas emissions per agricultural production activity are taken currently from the regional CAPRI data base where they are calculated according the guidelines for Green House gas inventories defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The following sources are covered:
Methane emissions from manure management
Methane emissions from manure management
Methane emissions from enteric fermentation
Methane emissions from enteric fermentation
Direct emissions from animal waste on the field
Direct emissions from cultivation of histosols
Direct emissions from crop residues
Direct emissions from nitrogen fixing crops
Indirect emissions from ammonia volatilisation
Indirect emissions from leaching
Emissions stemming from manure managment not on grazings
Emissions stemming from manure managment on grazings
Direct emissions from anorganic fertilizer application
Direct emissions from fertilizer application not including grassland
Direct emissions from atmosferic deposition
Mitrous oxide emissions during fertilizer production
The different emissions are also reported aggregated to CO2 equivalens. It is planned to refine the calculation at grid level by taking e.g. fertilizer application rates into account
