Volatilisation — Cropland nitrogen per unit area over time
- Central Asia
- China
How they compare
China currently reports 69.91 kg/ha against 18.27 kg/ha in Central Asia, a difference of 51.64 kg/ha.
That makes China's figure about 3.8 times Central Asia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 63 shared years of data; in 1961 it was Central Asia ahead.
Central Asia ranks 18th and China ranks 16th of 32 groups.
China has averaged higher in every one of the 7 decades both report.

About this data
The Cropland Nutrient balance domain contains information on the flows of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from mineral fertilizer, manure applied, atmospheric deposition, crop removal, and biological fixation over cropland and per unit area of cropland. The flows are aggregated to total inputs and total outputs, from which the overall nutrient balance and nutrient use efficiency on cropland are calculated. Statistics are disseminated in units of tonnes and in kg/ha, as appropriate. Nutrient use efficiency is expressed as a fraction (%).
