Analysis
The most recent figure for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in USSR is 12.22 kt, measured in 1991.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 11.0% on the previous year and down 7.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in USSR peaked at 18.52 kt in 1987 and was at its lowest, 1.35 kt, in 1961.
That places USSR 6th out of 199 countries with data for 1991, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Crops provides estimates of emissions associated with crop processes, namely 1) crop residues, 2) burning of crop residues, and 3) rice cultivation and the application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, including mineral and chemical fertilizers, to soils. Estimates are computed at Tier 1 following the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 2006).
