Fig. 3: Estimated greenhouse gas emissions (kg CO2eq km–2 year–1) by gas source in the two areas analyzed in this study.

From: Comparable GHG emissions from animals in wildlife and livestock-dominated savannas

Fig. 3

Greenhouse gas emissions are expressed in kg CO2eq km–2 year–1. The Serengeti ecosystem is dominated by wild herbivores, while the Loliondo Game Controlled Area is dominated by pastoralism. The figure shows the results of five different calculation methods13,14 applied (IPCC Tiers 1, 2a and 2b, as well as allometric 1 and 2).
