Analysis
The most recent figure for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in China is 0 kt per square kilometre, measured in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.4% on the previous year and down 20.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in China peaked at 0 kt per square kilometre in 2014 and was at its lowest, 0 kt per square kilometre, in 1961.
That places China 17th out of 176 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Indirect emissions (N2O that volatilises) (Synthetic fertilizers) divided by Land area (sq. km), 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 volatilises) (Synthetic fertilizers) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Indirect emissions (N2O that) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
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.
