The process in animals by which gases, including methane, are produced as
a by-product of the microbial fermentation associated with digestion of feed.
A weather event that is rare at a particular place and time of year.'Rare' can
be defined as being in the 10th or 90th percentile of the probability observed
in past trends.
Climatic conditions that increase or reduce the likelihood of bushfires.
High temperatures, low rainfall and humidity, and high winds increase the
likelihood of fire.
A generic term for Indigenous peoples of any country. In Australia, the term
refers to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; however, the term is
not limited to Indigenous peoples of Australia and can be used to describe
Indigenous peoples from other countries (e.g. Canada).
A direct, human-induced activity that leads to a long-term reduction in forest
carbon stocks.
Used to forecast the influence of weather on fire behaviour in forests. The index
is related to the chances of a fire starting, its rate of spread, and its intensity and
difficulty of suppression, according to various combinations of air temperature,
relative humidity, wind speed, and long- and short-term drought effects.
Fugitive emissions involve the release of non-combustion, greenhouse gases
arising from the production and delivery of fossil fuels. Fugitive emissions
from solid fuels arise from the production, transport and handling of coal, and
emissions from decommissioned mines and coal mine waste gas flaring. Fugitive
emissions from oil and gas extraction, production and transport involve venting,
flaring, leakage, evaporation and storage losses. Fugitive emissions from carbon
dioxide transport and storage arise from the transport, injection and storage of
carbon dioxide associated with carbon capture and storage activities.
A calculation tool for modelling Australia's greenhouse gas emissions from the
land sector. FullCAM is used in Australia's National
