Role of land cover in Finland's greenhouse gas emissions.

ABSTRACT: We present regionally aggregated emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from five land cover categories in Finland: artificial surfaces, arable land, forest, waterbodies, and wetlands. Carbon (C) sequestration to managed forests and unmanaged wetlands was also assessed. Models FRES and ALas were applied for emissions (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O) from artificial surfaces and agriculture, and PREBAS for forest growth and C balance. Empirical emission coefficients were used to estimate emissions from drained forested peatland (CH₄, N₂O), cropland (CO₂), waterbodies (CH₄, CO₂), peat production sites and undrained mires (CH₄, CO₂, N₂O). We calculated gross emissions of 147.2 ± 6.8 TgCO₂
