Analysis
The most recent figure for volatilisation — cropland nitrogen in Australia is 624,582 t, measured in 2023. That is the highest value across all 63 years on record.
That represents a change of up 11.8% on the previous year and up 67.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, volatilisation — cropland nitrogen in Australia peaked at 624,582 t in 2023 and was at its lowest, 34,444 t, in 1961.
That places Australia 14th out of 201 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
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 (%).
