1.   List of Contributors, the following corrections have been implemented:

p.7       Andre Bannink - Animal Sciences Group, unit Animal Production / Animal nutrition; corrected to André Bannink - Wageningen Livestock Research, Wageningen University & Research

 

p.7       Danaë M.A. Rozendaal, Laboratory of Geo-Information Science and Remote Sensing, Wageningen University; corrected to Danaë M.A. Rozendaal, Laboratory of Geo-Information Science and Remote Sensing, Wageningen University & Research

 

p.8       Edzo Veldkamp - Netherlands corrected to Edzo Veldkamp - Germany

Danaë M.A. Rozendaal, Laboratory of Geo-Information Science and Remote Sensing, Wageningen University & Research

 

p.8       Theunis Valentijn Vellinga - Wageningen UR Livestock Research corrected to Theunis Valentijn Vellinga - Wageningen Livestock Research, Wageningen University & Research

2.   Volume 1, Chapter 1, p. 5, section Anthropogenic emissions and removals, the text of the last paragraph corrected to:

 

“There are additional methods for estimating anthropogenic emissions and removals for flooded land that include the standard application of the Managed Land Proxy, and an optional method to produce indicative estimates of anthropogenic component of GHG emissions. For details, see Volume 4, Chapter 7”

 

3.   Volume 1, Chapter 2, p. 7, section Collecting data, the reference to figure in the 4^th para corrected to:

 

"(see Figure 2.0b)"

4.   Volume 1, Chapter 2, p. 11, section Restricted data and confidentiality, the text of the last paragraph corrected to:

 

"For all these reasons, when existing data need to be reprocessed, it is encouraged to work together with NSOs or the statistical service of the relevant ministry, not only to protect confidentiality, but also for cost savings."

5.   Volume 1, Chapter 3, p. 20, section Uncertainty of an Annual Estimate, the text of the footnote corrected by deleting the last sentence, to read:

 

"The option for expressing uncertainties in percent terms allows the results to be presented in a user-friendly way. However, caution should be exercised in the interpretation of the results in cases where the point estimate is very small when compared with the size of the confidence interval (e.g. a sector or inventory where removals and emissions are of similar sizes). Moreover, in the unique case the sum of negative quantities is equal to the sum of positive ones, the denominator in the Equation 3.2 is equal to "0" and the formula has no sense."

6.   Volume 1, Chapter 3, p. 28, section TABLE 3.2(UPDATED), the Equation in Column L corrected to:

 

7.   Volume 1, Chapter 3, p. 29, added section “DEALING WITH LARGE AND ASYMMETRIC UNCERTAINTIES” with the notation “No refinement”

 

8.   Volume 1, Chapter 3, pp. 40-42, TABLE 3.6(NEW), the title of the table corrected to:

 

“List of selected parameters for estimating CH₄ emissions from enteric fermentation (based on ISPRA 2018)"

9.   Volume 1, Chapter 5, p. 15, section 5.3.3.4 Linear extrapolation, the title of the section corrected to:

 

“5.3.3.4 Trend extrapolation"
