The dataset provides comprehensive information on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the provincial level in China from 1978 to 2016, specifically focusing on cropping systems. It covers primary and secondary emissions resulting from various agricultural activities related to crop farming, such as crop residue open burning, rice cultivation, changes in cropland, emissions from cropland, machinery usage, nitrogen fertilizer production, and pesticide production. The dataset incorporates official activity data and employs the most up-to-date emission factors specific to China. It can be utilized for spatial and temporal analyses of emissions from agricultural activities and can contribute to the development of mitigation strategies in China.
