| HuID: | 44575 | |
| Relevant Year(s): | 2007-2016 | |
| Summary: | The data source reports this value as 7.3 Tg N / yr (min-max [4.2-11.4]). We convert this to kg nitrous oxide or N2O by multiplying by 22/14 since Nitrogen represents 14/22 of the mass of N2O. The uncertainty represents the maximum and minimum values observed between 2007-2016. | |
| Method: | The uncertainty represents the maximum and minimum values observed between 2007-2016. | |
