About This Statistic
Land, Inputs and Sustainability: Cropland Nutrient Balance: Nutrient balance — cropland nitrogen per hectare. Exact FAOSTAT item/indicator, element and other dimensions are recorded in selectedDimensions.
MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2023 FAOSTAT slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
