Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2017). Food and Agriculture Organization Statistics: Emissions, Agriculture - Synthetic Fertilizers | Country: Iceland | Item: Nitrogenous fertilizers | Element: Nitrogen fertilizer content applied that volatilises - Kg of nutrients, 1961-2001. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 067-001-039. Dataset: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from synthetic fertilizers consist of nitrous oxide gas from synthetic nitrogen additions to managed soils. Data are computed at Tier 1 following the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National GHG Inventories. The time-series and cross-sectional data provided here are from the FAOSTAT database of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Statistics include measures related to the food supply; forestry; agricultural production, prices, and investment; and trade and use of resources, such as fertilizers, land, and pesticides. As available, data are provided for approximately 245 countries and 35 regional areas from 1961 through the present. The data are typically supplied by governments to FAO Statistics through national publications and FAO questionnaires. Official data have sometimes been supplemented with data from unofficial sources and from other national or international agencies or organizations. In particular, for the European Union member countries, with the exception of Spain, data obtained from EUROSTAT have been used. This dataset has been prepared using fertilizer data of the Fertilizer Archive from 1961 to 2001 and data of the Fertilizer Module starting from 2002 to present. The two fertilizer datasets should be used separately and not combined in order to create longer time series. This is due to the following changes from 2002 including: a change in the underlying fertilizer data methodology; the move to the use of calendar rather than a mixture of calendar and fertilizer year; revised classification of the fertilizer items; the addition of the non-fertilizer use parameter in the fertilizer balance and the use of new data sources for some data (eg, United Nations COMTRADE). Category: Natural Resources and Environment, Agriculture and Food Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Established in 1945 as a specialized agency of the United Nations, the Food and Agricultural Organization’s mandate is to raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, better the lives of rural populations, and contribute to the growth of the world economy. Staff experts in seven FAO departments serve as a knowledge network to collect, analyze, and disseminate data, sharing policy expertise with member countries and implementing projects and programs throughout the world aimed at achieving rural development and hunger alleviation goals. The Statistics Division of the Food and Agricultural Organization collates and disseminates food and agricultural statistics globally. http://www.fao.org/ Subject: Agricultural Production, Climate Change, Air Pollutants, Agriculture, Air Pollution, Fertilizers
