Change of crop and cattle (A) gross energy, (B) relative energy, (C) metabolizable energy production and (D) relative metabolizable energy production in function of their GHG emissions from 1975 to 2006. Legend: In graph (A) the bars represent the total amount of gross energy produced (in Exa joules or 10¹⁵ joules) by crops (GrᶓCr) and pastures (GrᶓPa) for each analyzed year, and the lines represent the total emissions of CO₂e (in millions of tons of CO₂e or Mton) by croplands and pastures. In graph (B) the bars represent the relative production of gross energy (in Giga joules – 10⁹ joules – per hectare) by crops and cattle (total occupied area by crops and pastures, for each analyzed year, can be obtained in Table S5), and the lines represent the relative emissions of CO₂e (in tons of CO₂e per Tera joule – 10¹² – joules of gross energy). In graph (C) the bars represent the total amount of metabolizable energy produced (in Exa joules or 10¹⁵ joules) by crops (MtᶓCr) and pastures (MtᶓPa) for each analyzed year, and the lines represent the total emissions of CO₂e (in millions of tons of CO₂e or Mton) by croplands and pastures. In graph (D) the bars represent the relative production of metabolizable energy (in Giga joules – 10⁹ joules – per hectare) by crops and cattle, and the lines represent the relative emissions of CO₂e (in tons of CO₂e per Tera joule – 10¹² joules – of metabolizable energy).
