Table 5.

Annual GHG emissions from the residual forage area (∆rA) under four land use scenarios 1 in eastern and western Canada in 2001.

Scenario # 1 2 3 4
TgCO2e
East 0.00 0.19 0.40 0.50
West 0.00 0.29 1.48 1.81
Canada 0.00 0.48 1.88 2.31

1 four scenarios for ∆rA:

Scenario 1: remains under perennial forage cover,

Scenario 2: seeded to annuals,

Scenario 3: returned to beef production with mixed forage and grain diet,

Scenario 4: returned to beef production with mostly forage diet.
