How this figure is calculated
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Indirect emissions (N2O that leaches) (Synthetic fertilizers) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Indirect emissions (N2O that leaches) (Synthetic fertilizers) ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Indirect emissions (N2O that leaches) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
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.
