Analysis
In 2023, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in China stood at 0.4384 % change on previous year.
The figure is up 116.6% on the previous year and down 17.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in China peaked at 48.89 % change on previous year in 1962 and was at its lowest, -26.69 % change on previous year, in 1967.
That places China 80th out of 205 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
