Summary

[THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions represent the amount of greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide) emissions associated with the annual production of seven livestock commodities, considering the following processes: enteric fermentation, manure deposition on grassland, manure management on farm; application of manure on feed crops and application of synthetic fertiliser on grassland and feed crops, plus other cropland emissions for feed crops (e.g. methane from rice cultivation). We also provide the greenhouse gas emission intensities, which indicate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions per unit of mass of animal products produced annually. The considered livestock commodities are: bovine meat and milk, small ruminant (sheep and goat) meat and milk, pig meat, poultry (chicken, ducks) meat, and poultry eggs. The resolution is 5 arc minute, across the global land area, for the period of 1997-2003. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/76f8c5c0-6dde-407a-9710-2bca2e041512
