Global dataset on nutrient removal with crop residues

This dataset provides global, annual estimates of how much nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potassium are removed from cropland through the off-field
removal of crop residues. It covers 210 countries from 1961 to 2023, based
on information from official statistics, expert knowledge, and published
sources. The dataset has been integrated into the FAO Cropland Nutrient
Balance Database as of the 2025 release, enabling more complete
assessments of nutrient balances and nutrient use efficiency.
