How this figure is calculated

The year-on-year percentage change in Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Indirect emissions (N2O that volatilises) (Synthetic fertilizers). Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.

Computed from

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.
