UKCEH Land Cover plus: Fertilisers 2015-2021 (England)

This product consists of maps of predicted annual application rates (kg/km2/yr) of three different inorganic chemical fertilisers - nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) - in England across a seven-year period (2015-2021). Annual estimates, along with their respective estimates of uncertainty, are provided at a 1 km x 1 km resolution with a separate map provided for each fertiliser. This product builds on the previous CEH Land Cover plus: Fertilisers 2010-2015 (England) product, providing maps for more recent years and increasing the temporal resolution to provide a map per year instead of an average across years.

Statement

Fertiliser applications to a range of arable and grassland crops were modelled as a function of crop type, soil type and climate. Data on fertiliser applications were derived from the Defra British Survey of Fertiliser Practice (BSFP). To produce a map of applications across England, UKCEH Land Cover plus: Crops was used to identify which crops were grown where, and the modelled fertiliser applications to each crop in each 1km square were summed to create an estimate of total fertiliser application rates per 1km square (kg/km2/yr).
