1961–2019 data from the FAOSTAT Emissions Totals domain details nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from manure applied to soils. Estimates are computed at Tier 1 of the IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories and are available by country with global coverage. The database is maintained by the Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) and updated annually.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in manure-related N2O emissions by country from 1961 to 2019.
- Compare national-level N2O emissions from manure application across different regions.
- Validate or calibrate agricultural emission models using IPCC Tier 1 methodology data.
- Project future N2O emissions using historical data and provided 2030/2050 projections.
Strengths
- Global country-level coverage for a 59-year period (1961-2019)
- Data computed using standardized IPCC Tier 1 methodology for consistency
- Includes future projections for 2030 and 2050 for some emission categories
Limitations
- Specific row count and granularity (e.g., sub-national) are unknown
- Methodology is Tier 1 (simplified), not higher-tier, which may lack detail for local analysis
- Projections are not available for all emission categories
