How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in Emission Totals - Emissions (CH4) - Emissions on agricultural land. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- Emission Totals - Emissions (CH4) - Emissions on agricultural land FAO, FAOSTAT Climate Change, Emissions Totals, http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/GT
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
