Global Biosphere Management Model (GLOBIOM) global simulations of agricultural nitrogen cycle for the period of 2010-2100 under various SSP-RCP-N (shared socioeconomic pathways - representative concentration pathways - nitrogen pathways ) scenario combinations

This dataset is a model output from the Global Biosphere Management Model (GLOBIOM). It provides global estimates of annual nitrogen cycle in the agricultural sector (including cropland, pasture, and livestock systems) for the period of 2010-2100 with 10 years interval under seven scenarios of nitrogen future described in Kanter et al. (2020), with 2010 as the only historical year.
The scenarios are represented as combination of SSP-RCP-N (shared socioeconomic pathways - representative concentration pathways - nitrogen pathways) :

The climate scenarios are represented as combination of SSP-RCP-N (shared socioeconomic pathways - representative concentration pathways - nitrogen pathways) :

1) Business as usual (SSP5-RCP8.5 Low N ambition)
2) Low N regulation (SSP2-RCP4.5 Low N ambition)
3) Medium N regulation (SSP2-RCP4.5 Moderate N ambition)
4) High N regulation (SSP2-RCP4.5 High N ambition)
5) Best Case (SSP1-RCP4.5 High N ambition)
6) Best Case + (SSP1-RCP4.5 High N ambition with ambitious diet shift and food loss/waste reductions)
7) Bioenergy (SSP1-RCP2.6 High N ambition with low meat & dairy diet)


The data was produced as part of the INMS (International Nitrogen Managements System) project that is implemented by the UN Environment with funding through the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and executed through UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH).
