This study aimed to estimate the environmental impact of barley production in the Basque Country, Northern Spain, using cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, as well as to assess how methodological choices (i.e., the use of IPCC 201...

Since fluorine compounds have both high ozone depletion potential and high global warming potential, the study of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs) is crucial for climate change research. In this study, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissi...

As wood products in use store carbon and can contribute to reducing the concentration of atmospheric CO₂, the improved and enhanced use of wood products can be a successful measure in climate change mitigation. This study estimates the amount of carb...

Over the past few decades, the supply of beef has increasingly become available with the great improvement of the quality of life, especially in developing countries. However, along with the demand for meat products of high quality and the transforma...

Dairy cattle farming contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through methane (CH₄) from enteric fermentation. To complement global efforts to mitigate climate change, there is a need for accurate estimations of GHG emissions using...

Quantifying entericCH₄ from grazing systems is a challenge for all regions of the world, especially when cattle feed mostly on pasture throughout the year, as pasture quality varies with the seasons. In this study, we examine the influence of seasona...

This study determined the breed and the season-specific methane (CH₄) conversion factor (Y_m) and the emission factor (EF) for the enteric CH₄ of dairy steers. The Y_m values for Holstein and Jersey steers at different seasons were calculated using the...

Peru has the largest inventory of alpacas worldwide. Despite their importance as a source of net income for rural communities living at the Andean Plateau, data on energy requirements and methane (CH₄) emissions for alpacas are particularly lacking....

Statistical surveys about rabbits in households brought interesting results about their breeding. The survey shows that approx. 8.3% of Slovak households breed rabbits, of which the majority are bred in the countryside (61%), followed by breeding in...
