How this figure is calculated
Savanna — Burning crop residues (Biomass burned, dry matter) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Savanna — Burning crop residues (Biomass burned, dry matter) ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Savanna — Burning crop residues Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
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.
