Integrated Model to Assess the Global Environment (IMAGE) Global Nutrient Model (GNM) global simulations for Nitrogen balances by country, for the years 1970, 1990, 2010, 2020 and 2050

This dataset contains global Nitrogen balances by country or IMAGE region. Balances are calculated for 1970, 1990, 2010, 2020 and 2050 for three different Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSP).

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) Bioenergy (SSP1-RCP2.6 High N ambition with low meat & dairy diet)

Provenance & quality

This dataset is a summary file from the grid-based output of IMAGE-GNM which provides the area (km2) and the major N balance terms (in kg N) for most countries or IMAGE regions. The grid-based dataset was aggregated to country level and the IMAGE world regions. This dataset is important as most INMS users will be mainly interested in the balance files and not in the grid-based IMAGE-GNM output in NetCDF format.
