Analysis
The most recent figure for biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Denmark is 8,342 t, measured in 2023.
That represents a change of down 17.3% on the previous year and up 497.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Denmark peaked at 31,353 t in 1987 and was at its lowest, 504.44 t, in 1966.
Denmark ranks 102nd of 191 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
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 (%).
