Global greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of crop and livestock products at 5 arc minutes resolution, 1997-2003 v2
type: Dataset
description: The greenhouse gas (GHG) emission represent the amount of greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide) emissions associated with the annual production of seven livestock commodities, considering the following processes: enteric fermentation, manure deposition on grassland, manure management on farm; application of manure on feed crops and application of synthetic fertiliser on grassland and feed crops, plus other cropland emissions for feed crops (e.g. peatland drainage and methane from rice cultivation). We also provide the greenhouse gas emission intensities, which indicate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions per unit of mass of animal products produced annually. The considered livestock commodities are: bovine ('BV') meat and milk, small ruminant (sheep and goat, 'SG') meat and milk, pig (PG) meat, poultry (chicken, ducks, 'PT') meat, and poultry eggs. The resolution is 5 arc minute, across the global land area, for the period around year 2000. The greenhouse gas (GHG) emission represent the amount of greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide) emissions associated with the annual production of 172 cultivated crops, considering the following processes: application of manure and synthetic fertiliser on cropland, peatland drainage, and methane from rice cultivation.
