Analysis
In 2023, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Norway stood at 468.15 t.
That represents a change of up 5.2% on the previous year and up 501.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Norway peaked at 520.05 t in 2007 and was at its lowest, 0 t, in 1964.
That places Norway 154th out of 191 countries with data for 2023, 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 (%).
