State-of-the-Art Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory Guidance and Tools
The U.S. EPA State and Local Climate Change Program is unveiling the Emission Inventory Improvement Program Volume VIII: Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions, a revised guide for states conducting greenhouse gas emission inventories. The revised guidance is accompanied, for the first time, by the State Tool for Greenhouse Gas Inventory Development, a user-friendly inventory spreadsheet tool inte...
متن کاملQuantifying Beetle-Mediated Effects on Gas Fluxes from Dung Pats
Agriculture is one of the largest contributors of the anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) responsible for global warming. Measurements of gas fluxes from dung pats suggest that dung is a source of GHGs, but whether these emissions are modified by arthropods has not been studied. A closed chamber system was used to measure the fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2...
متن کاملEx-ante greenhouse gas balance of agriculture and forestry development programs
EX-ACT (EX-Ante Carbon-balance Tool) is a tool developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It provides ex-ante measurements of the mitigation impact of agriculture and forestry development projects, estimating net C balance from GHG emissions and Carbon (C) sequestration. EX-ACT is a land-based accounting system, measuring C stocks, stock changes per unit of ...
متن کاملClimate Regulation in New Zealand: Contribution of Natural and Managed Ecosystems
This chapter reviews all stocks and fl uxes of carbon in New Zealand, and reviews biophysical regulation through surface albedo. The terrestrial environment provides a climate-regulation service by assimilating, transforming, and adjusting to emissions of greenhouse gases that could otherwise lead to undesirable changes in global climate. Quantifying this service requires accounting for both st...
متن کاملMeasuring Abatement Potentials When Multiple Change Is Present: the Case of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in U.s. Agriculture and Forestry
Abstract Mathematical programming is used to examine the economic potential of greenhouse gas mitigation strategies in U.S. agriculture and forestry. Mitigation practices are entered into a spatially differentiated sector model and are jointly assessed with conventional agricultural production. Competition among practices is examined under a wide range of hypothetical carbon prices. Simulation ...
