Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : land-based greenhouse gas emissions and removals.: En4-144/93-2020E-PDF
"Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the major drivers of climate change. Land-use activities such as forestry, agriculture and the conversion of lands to settlements, as well as natural disturbances such as forest fires and insect infestations result in GHG emissions to the atmosphere and removals from the atmosphere (for example carbon being converted into wood by trees). Land management decisions can help mitigate climate change by increasing carbon dioxide removals from the atmosphere or decreasing GHG emissions from the land. This indicator provides estimates of Canada's emissions and removals of GHGs from managed lands"--Page 5.
