How this figure is calculated

Emission Totals - Emissions (CO2eq) (AR5) - Crop Residues divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Emission Totals - Emissions (CO2eq) (AR5) - Crop Residues ÷ Land area (sq. km)

Computed from

Emission Totals - Emissions (CO2eq) (AR5) - Crop Residues FAO, FAOSTAT Climate Change, Emissions Totals, http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/GT
Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

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.
