Analysis
In 1999, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Belgium-Luxembourg stood at 833.57 t.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 6.1% on the previous year and up 16.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Belgium-Luxembourg peaked at 2,344 t in 1962 and was at its lowest, 218.82 t, in 1984.
That places Belgium-Luxembourg 147th out of 191 countries with data for 1999, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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 (%).
