Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Indirect emissions (N2O that) in Cameroon, 1962–2023
Source: Statizoid (derived). Measured in % change on previous year.
Analysis
In 2023, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in Cameroon stood at 25.65 % change on previous year.
That represents a change of up 185.4% on the previous year and down 19.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in Cameroon peaked at 263.49 % change on previous year in 1977 and was at its lowest, -50.7 % change on previous year, in 1990.
That places Cameroon 35th out of 205 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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
- Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Indirect emissions (N2O that) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
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.
