Carbon footprint of transhumant sheep farms: accounting for natural baseline emissions in mediterranean systems

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Effect of considering natural baseline emissions Current GHG accounting methods, as reflected in the IPCC guidelines, exclude wild ruminants from GHG estimates, as these are considered a natural source of emissions, and therefore, not anthropogenic. Taking into account that transhumant livestock is occupying their ecological niche and displacing wild herbivore populations, and that it is fulfilling similar ecosystem functions, it is therefore reasonable to only consider as anthropogenic the transhumance-triggered emissions that depart from the natural baseline level. To account for this baseline effect, the authors subtracted the corresponding natural emissions from the . . .
