Description
The current New Zealand greenhouse gas inventory derives implied emission factors that vary between animal types (Ministry for the Environment, 2010). The spatial distribution of animal numbers (dairy, sheep, beef, and deer) was modelled using a land-use map derived from AgriBase (AgriQuality New Zealand, 2003) and the land cover database (LCDB2, Ministry for the Environment, 2009).The number of animals were scaled using statistics of livestock numbers at the district level (Statistics New Zealand, 2007) and spatially distributed the animals using the potential carrying capacity from fundamental soil layers (Landcare Research, 2011a). New Zealand-specific emissions factors were then applied using the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) methodology for the agriculture sector for methane and nitrous oxide emissions (Ministry for the Environment, 2010).
