Fig. 3: Crop-specific greenhouse gas emissions from irrigation pumping.

From: Greenhouse gas emissions from US irrigation pumping and implications for climate-smart irrigation policy

Fig. 3

a Bar plot showing total greenhouse gas emissions (red bars) and emissions per hectare (gray bars) associated with on-farm irrigation pumping for 12 of the most widespread irrigated crops in the US. b Map showing the crop associated with the largest proportion of irrigation pumping emissions in each county. Counties with no pumped irrigated area are shown in white, and counties without crop-specific emissions estimates due to data withholding for confidentiality are shown in gray. Error bars indicate 90% confidence intervals.
