1961 to 2019 data on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from crop residues, measured in kilotonnes. The dataset provides country-level estimates with global coverage, computed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAOSTAT) using IPCC Tier 1 guidelines. It is updated annually.
Use Cases
- Model national N2O emissions trends from crop residues using country and year fields.
- Analyze the contribution of crop residue management to total agricultural emissions using the kilotonne emission values.
- Compare emission levels across different countries for a specific year using the country and value columns.
- Project future emissions by integrating historical data from 1961-2019 with the provided 2030 and 2050 projections.
Strengths
- 59 years of temporal coverage from 1961 to 2019.
- Global spatial coverage with data available by country.
- Annual update frequency ensures periodic revisions.
Limitations
- Specific row and column counts are unknown.
- Data is computed using IPCC Tier 1 methodology, which is less detailed than higher tiers.
- Projections for 2030 and 2050 are not available for all emission categories.
