Agricultural and Land Use Software (ALU) Stephen M. Ogle, Ph.D. Colorado State University Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory Fort Collins, Colorado USA Acknowledgements: ALU Software Programmers/Testers: Shannon Spencer (lead programmer), Mark Easter, Fadi Wedyan, Prasanna Venkatesh, Shilpa Halvadar, Hussein Al- Rousan, Stephen Williams, Lacey Hood and Amy Swan

What is ALU? Greenhouse Gas Inventory Software Program –Developed for LULUCF and Agricultural Sectors –Based on IPCC methods (96 GL and GPG) Emphasis on incorporation of good practices –Accommodates IPCC Tier 1 and 2 methods User-interface guiding compiler through inventory process with an underlying relational database structure –Activity data entry, emission factor assignment and emission/stock change estimation Digital archive for inventory data –Institutional memory

GHG Sources in Agriculture and LULUCF From 2006 IPCC GHG Inventory Guidelines

Some Key Features of ALU Flexibility with choice of activity data –Option to use Approach 1, 2 or 3 activity data May import activity data from remote-sensing imagery, and combine with forestry statistics and agricultural census data –Complete and consistent representation of land Option to use default or region-specific factors –Tier 1 and 2 method Explicit Quality Assurance/Quality Control steps –Activity data entry, factor assignments and calculations Produces tabular results and maps for LULUCF –All calculations provided for transparency

Relevance to Capacity-Building Projects Develop inventory with IPCC good practices –Explicit Quality Assurance/Quality Control Steps Activity data entry, factor assignments and calculations –Complete and consistent representation of land use and management for all associated emission sources –Facilitate application of Tier 2 approaches for key sources in Agriculture and LULUCF - Flexibility Many options for incorporating country-specific data Country-specific emission factors –Facilitate recalculation of emissions across inventory time series

Relevance (continued) Data management capability –Activity data, factor files, emission results –Utilize GIS-based data on land use and land use change derived from remote sensing imagery - Option Digital archive of all data and results –Self-contained database with activity data, documentation references and results –Institutional memory for long-term sustainability of GHG inventory Support reporting to the UNFCCC through capacity- building project

Module I, Primary Data: Enter activity data on land use change

Spatial Data (Digital) climate,soil,lutype,area TRM,HAM,CRO, TRM,HAM,FOR, TRM,HAM,GRA, TRM,HAM,SET, TRM,HAM,WET, TRM,LAM,CRO, TRM,LAM,FOR, TRM,LAM,GRA, TRM,LAM,SET, TRM,LAM,WET, TRM,VOL,CRO, TRM,VOL,FOR, TRM,VOL,GRA, TRM,VOL,WET, TRM,WET,CRO, TRM,WET,FOR, TRM,WET,GRA, TRM,WET,SET, TRM,WET,WET, TMM,HAM,CRO, TMM,HAM,FOR, TMM,HAM,GRA, TMM,LAM,CRO, TMM,LAM,FOR, TMM,LAM,GRA, TMM,LAM,WET, TMM,VOL,CRO, TMM,VOL,FOR, TMM,VOL,GRA, Sources: Remote Sensing Imagery, National Scale Mapping Projects (e.g., soils), Land Use Surveys Export Text File (Import to ALU)

Approach 2/3 Activity Data Climate and Soil

QA/QC for Primary Data

Review activity data entry to check for errors May export activity data and send to experts for additional review QA/QC Items

Module I, Secondary Data: Enter additional activity data related to deforestation

Enter previous forest types and age classes before deforestation Insert area deforested during the year and area cleared by burning

Module II: Enter stock change factors for deforestation

Factors needed to loss of biomass C from deforestation Compiler has option to assign defaults or country-specific values

Module III: Program calculates emissions and stock changes using equations from IPCC GL and GPG

Calculation to estimate changes in biomass C stocks from deforestation Review results for biomass C stock loss due to deforestation Equation and Legend

Module IV: Inventory compiler exports results into spreadsheets for reporting

Module I-Primary Data: Enter Livestock Statistics

Select Climate Region Enter basic animal population numbers

QA/QC for Primary Data

Review activity data entry to check for errors May export activity data and send to experts for additional review QA/QC Items Confirm data complete

Module I-Secondary Data: Additional Livestock Management Statistics

Factors/Data needed to estimate gross energy intake Compiler has option to enter additional values Other factor files available

Calculations Review results for daily gross energy intake Equation and Legend

Module II: Enter Emission Factors for Enteric Methane QA/QC for Secondary Data

Factors needed to estimate enteric methane emissions Compiler has option to enter additional values Other factor files available

Calculations Review results for enhanced enteric methane emission factor Equation and Legend

Module III: Estimate Emissions for Enteric Methane QA/QC for Emission Factors

Calculation Review results for enteric methane emissions Equation and Legend

Export results into spreadsheets for reporting

Additional Refinements ALU could be refined to address uncertainty Develop a mitigation module for projections of GHG trends with various mitigation options
