Fraction of total excreted nitrogen that is in inorganic (ammoniacal) form and therefore available for ammonia volatilisation, by livestock species and manure stream (whole excreta, or after separation into a liquid and a solid fraction). Used by calculate_manner_nh3()'s organic-manure path to scale the realised emission factor down to the ammoniacal nitrogen actually applied. The mapping from calculate_manner_nh3()'s manure_type argument to this table's species/manure_stream keys (cattle_slurry/pig_slurry to the "Liquid" stream, FYM to Cattle "Solid", poultry_manure to Poultry "Solid") is a documented modelling choice made when porting this table, not a literal Spain_Hist crosswalk; see calculate_manner_nh3()'s Details.

Usage

manure_inorganic_n

Format

A tibble with columns:

species

Livestock species: "Sheep", "Goats", "Poultry", "Cattle", "Pigs", "Horses", "Donkeys_mules" or "Rabbits".

manure_stream

Manure stream: "Excreta" (whole, unseparated excreta), "Liquid" or "Solid" (after mechanical separation); not every species has a "Liquid" row.

inorganic_n_fraction

Fraction of the stream's total nitrogen that is inorganic (ammoniacal).

source

Short author-year provenance string as cited in the Spain_Hist Livestock.xlsx Manure_inorganic_N sheet for that coefficient. These are secondary citations transcribed from that workbook, not independently DOI-verified full bibliographic entries.
