『Abstract
It is well established that the livestock sector is a major contributor
to greenhouse gases (GHG) and ammonia (NH3)
emissions. In this paper, the evolution of livestock NH3,
methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O)
and particulate matter (PM) emissions is presented for the period
1960-2005 in Greece and the factors influencing the emission fluxes
(such as livestock population changes, manure management systems
in use) are examined and analyzed. Emission estimates are based
on the updated EMEP/CORINAIR methodology together with the revised
IPCC guidelines; newly published, Greece-specific emission factors
are used. The emissions level from livestock is evaluated and
compared with the corresponding emissions from other anthropogenic
sources in Greece. Geographical analysis concerning the distribution
of animals and the subsequent NH3 emissions
is performed. Main results indicate high levels of emissions from
1960 to 1995, while emissions from 1995 to 2005 show a stabilizing
trend.
