How this figure is calculated
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Synthetic fertilizers (Agricultural use) with 54 missing years estimated by linear interpolation between the nearest real observations. Only gaps of 4 years or fewer are filled, and never beyond the first or last actual measurement — these are filled holes, not forecasts.
Computed from
