Environmental efficiency of brazilian livestock farming: a regional greenhouse gas emissions approach
This article aims to establish a survey of CO2e (t GWP) emissions and carbon sequestration in Brazilian livestock. The study considers CO2, CH4, N2O as GHG, being presented in carbon equivalent (CO2eq) in the metric GWP (global warming potential). Based on data from Greenhouse Gas Emission and Removal Estimating System, an estimate of carbon removals in the soil due to agricultural practices was included in an experimental way.
