Synthetic nitrogen application rates by crop and country

Source: R/datasets.R
mueller_synthetic_n.Rd

Country- and crop-process-level synthetic nitrogen application rates (kg N ha\(^{-1}\)), derived from Mueller et al. (2012). Used as reference crop-specific N rates in the WHEP nitrogen pipeline.

Usage

mueller_synthetic_n

Format

A tibble with one row per crop-process-country combination containing:

  • proc_code: Internal process code (e.g. "p001").

  • crop_process: Descriptive crop process name (e.g. "Rice production").

  • crop_original: Crop name as in the source dataset.

  • unit: Unit of the rate value (always "kgN/ha").

  • iso3c: ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code.

  • rate_value: Nitrogen application rate (kg N ha\(^{-1}\)).
