Climate change mitigation is a global response that requires actions at the local level. Quantifying sources and sinks of greenhouse gases (GHG) facilitate evaluating options. We present an approach to collate spatially explicit estimated fluxes GHGs (carbon dioxide, methane nitrous oxide) for main land use sectors in landscape, aggregate, calculate net emissions entire region. Our procedure wa...
