Analysis
In 2023, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Finland stood at 6,179 t.
That represents a change of down 9.3% on the previous year and up 874.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Finland peaked at 6,810 t in 2022 and was at its lowest, 146.35 t, in 1969.
That places Finland 110th out of 191 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.

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 (%).
