Analysis
The most recent figure for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — nitrogen fertilizer content applied in Greenland is 14,821 kg, measured in 2050.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — nitrogen fertilizer content applied in Greenland peaked at 24,051 kg in 2008 and was at its lowest, 0 kg, in 1961.

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).
