摘要

This study investigated the effects of livestock activities on greenhouse gas emissions in Türkiye for the 2022–2023. It analyzed changes in cattle, small ruminants, and poultry populations and their emissions. Unlike other studies, it used detailed age, sex, and weight criteria and examined emissions in detail. It also developed a geographic information system model and conducted spatial and temporal analyses. This approach determined the regions with high emissions. The findings show a decrease in cattle and small ruminants in 2023, but high emissions in some areas. Konya, Erzurum, and İzmir provinces stand out in direct and indirect N2O emissions, and the Aegean and Marmara Regions have the highest CH4 emissions. This level of detail enables policymakers and stakeholders to develop strategies for specific regions. It also contributes to modern livestock management policies. As livestock activities and manure management practices increase, such analyses are needed. This study contributes to the literature by addressing recent changes in the spatial and temporal dimensions of greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock sector in Türkiye.
