Land use emissions hotspots
The land use (i.e. AFOLU) sector contributes roughly a quarter of the net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions mainly from deforestation, fire, wood harvesting, and agricultural emissions including croplands, paddy rice, and livestock. In this theme, we present spatial data on land use emissions to fill key knowledge gaps, identify emission hotspots and support mitigation actions.
AFOLU emissions
Annual mean emissions for 2000–2005 of the AFOLU sector, which combine CO2, CH4 and N2O from deforestation, fire, wood harvesting, livestock (enteric fermentation, manure management), paddy rice, and cropland soils.
AFOLU emissions uncertainties (stdev)
Uncertainties of annual mean emissions for 2000–2005 of the AFOLU sector, expressed as the standard deviation.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
Annual mean carbon dioxide emissions (expressed in CO2e) for 2000–2005 from the forest sector and soil organic content loss from soils.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions uncertainties (stdev)
Uncertainties of annual mean carbon dioxide emissions (expressed in CO2e) for 2000–2005, expressed as the standard deviation.
Methane (CH4) emissions
Annual mean methane emissions (expressed in CO2e) for 2000–2005 from livestock (manure management, enteric fermentation), fires and paddy rice.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions
Annual mean nitrous oxide emissions (expressed in CO2e) for 2000–2005 from livestock (manure management), fires and cropland soils.
