Global Livestock GHG Emissions And Intensities At 5 Arc Minutes, 1997-2003

Greenhouse gas emissions and emission intensities for seven livestock commodities at 5 arc minute resolution across the global land area. The dataset covers the period from 1997 to 2003, quantifying emissions from processes like enteric fermentation and manure management.

Use Cases

• Model spatial patterns of GHG emissions from enteric fermentation for bovine meat and milk production.
• Analyze greenhouse gas emission intensities per unit mass across livestock commodities like pig meat and poultry eggs.
• Assess regional contributions to total emissions from manure deposition on grassland and synthetic fertiliser application.
• Compare methane emissions from rice cultivation for feed crops against other livestock-related emission sources.

Strengths

• Covers seven distinct livestock commodities, including bovine meat and milk, small ruminant meat and milk, pig meat, poultry meat, and poultry eggs.
• Provides data at a 5 arc minute spatial resolution across the global land area.
• Includes both total greenhouse gas emissions and emission intensities per unit of product mass.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage is limited to a seven-year period (1997-2003), making the data potentially stale for current analyses.
• The dataset has been withdrawn, which may indicate underlying data quality issues or superseded methodology.
