Estimation of greenhouse gas emissions trends from the livestock sector in Morocco

Mouad Chentouf
BackgroundQuantification of livestock-related greenhouse gas emissions is critical for understanding agriculture's role in climate change and for justifying appropriate mitigation measures. In this paper, a long-term assessment of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from the Moroccan livestock sector is presented for the period 2000–2023.MethodsEnteric fermentation, manure management, and N2O (direct and indirect) emissions were calculated using Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Cha
