Figure 1. Greenhouse gas emission estimates (million-ton CO₂ equivalent) from the AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use) sector in India for the period from 2005 to 2015. Estimation of GHG emissions and removals from the AFOLU sector includes CO₂ emissions and removals (negative values) resulting from carbon stock changes in biomass, dead organic matter, and mineral soils, for all managed lands; CO₂ and non-CO₂ emissions from fire on all managed lands; N₂O emissions from all managed soils; CO₂ emissions associated with liming and urea application to managed soils; CH₄ emissions from rice cultivation; CO₂ and N₂O emissions from cultivated organic soils; CH₄ emission from livestock (enteric fermentation); and CH₄ and N₂O emissions from manure management systems. Based on Global Temperature Potential (GWP)-AR-5 (Assessment Report 5; tCO₂e) (data source^[7]).
