A stakeholder-embedded recursive model system for traceable and revisable sustainability assessment: A nitrogen management application

This dataset supports the article “A stakeholder-embedded recursive model system for traceable and revisable sustainability assessment: An nitrogen management application”, submitted to Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews. The study develops a stakeholder-embedded recursive modelling framework for sustainability assessment and decision support, with Environmentally Sustainable Residual Income Decomposition Modelling (ESRIDM) as its analytical component. The framework is demonstrated using three nitrogen management configurations for irrigated cotton production in Australia, integrating crop simulation outputs with life-cycle emission factors, environmental maintenance costs, and accounting data. The dataset contains model inputs and configuration files for the three scenarios, simulation outputs based on 89 growing seasons of weather data, ESRIDM calculation workbooks, and code used for the statistical comparisons and carbon-cost sensitivity analysis reported in the study. These materials provide the underlying data and calculations supporting the reported results and allow the analytical settings and calculations to be examined or reused where appropriate.
