Estimation of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions from 1987 to 2015 in Fujian Province, China

Abstract

Abstract Based on the data of agricultural activities of Fujian Province, the agricultural greenhouse gases emissions of Fujian Province during 1987-2015 were estimated and the uncertainties were analysed. The following conclusions were drawn. Firstly, the greenhouse gas emissions increased continuously during 1987-1992 while they decreased greatly in fluctuation during 1993-2015. Secondly, agricultural land was the largest emission source of the agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, followed by rice planting, and animal excrement and intestinal fermentation. Thirdly, the agricultural economic level had a far greater impact than the input of agricultural production materials.
