We refine the information available through IPCC AR5 with regard to recent trends in global GHG emissions from agriculture, forestry and other land uses (AFOLU), including emission updates 2012. Using all three AFOLU datasets employed for analysis AR5, rather than just one as done WGIII Summary Policy Makers, our analyses point a down-revision of shares total anthropogenic emissions, while providing important additional on subsectoral trends. Our findings confirm that share declined over...
Using newly available data from the 2015 Forest Resources Assessment (FRA), we refined information, currently through IPCC AR5 and FAOSTAT, on recent trends in global regional net CO2 emissions removals forest land, including conversion (used as a proxy for deforestation) remaining forest. The new analysis is based simplified carbon stock method of FAOSTAT Emissions database, equivalent to Tier 1, Approach 1 methodology, limited biomass stocks. Our results indicated that decreased...
In order to address the pressing challenge of climate change, countries are now submitting long-term strategies United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process. These include within them potential future use ‘negative emissions technologies’ (NETs). NETs interventions that remove carbon from atmosphere, ranging large-scale terrestrial sequestration in forests, wetlands and soils, capture storage technologies. We assess here how discussed 29 strategies, ascertain risk...
The Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED3) and the FAOSTAT database, containing estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from biomass burning peat fires, are compared. two datasets formed basis for several analyses in fifth Assessment Report Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR5), thus represent a critical source information inventories at national, regional global level. databases differ their level computational complexity estimating emissions. While both use same burned...
Background Fire simulators are increasingly used to predict fire spread. Australian agencies have been concerned at not having an objective basis choose for this purpose. Aims We evaluated wildland currently in Australia: Australis, Phoenix, Prometheus and Spark. The evaluation results outlined here, together with the framework. Methods Spatial metrics visual aids were designed consultation simulator end-users assess performance. Simulations compared against observations of progression data...
