How this figure is calculated

Agricultural Soils — Direct emissions (N2O) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Agricultural Soils — Direct emissions (N2O) ÷ Population, total

Computed from

Agricultural Soils — Direct emissions Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)

Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
