Recent stabilization of agricultural non-CO₂ greenhouse gas emissions in China.

ABSTRACT: Agriculture emerges as a prominent contributor to CH₄ and N₂O emissions in China. However, estimates of these two non-CO₂ greenhouse gases (GHGs) remain poorly constrained, hindering a precise understanding of their spatiotemporal dynamics and the development of effective mitigation strategies. Here, we established a consistent estimation framework that integrates emission-factor approach, data-driven models and process-based biogeochemical models, to identify the magnitudes, spatial variations, and long-term trends of agricultural non-CO₂ GHG emissions in China's mainland from 1980 to 2023. Over the study period, the average total agricultural non-CO₂ GHG emissions amounted to 722.5 ± 102.3 Tg CO₂-eq yr^-1, with l
