+ | ==== Annex: Fertilizer data used in Capri ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | CAPRI combines time series data on **total fertilizer** quantities at member state level from various sources: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - total fertilizer from Eurostat: consumption of inorganic fertilizers [Eurostat table: aei_fm_usefert] (2000-2020) (“TOTdom”) | ||
+ | - total fertilizer consumption (IFA) (1980-2020) (“TOTifa”) | ||
+ | - total fertilizer from Eurostat: sales of manufactured fertilizers (source: EFMA) [Eurostat table: aei_fm_manfert] (1985-2019) (“TOTdem”) | ||
+ | - total nitrogen consumption from UNFCCC (CRF) (“TOTcrf”) | ||
+ | - total fertilizer from Eurostat: gross nutrient balance [Eurostat table: aei_pr_gnb] (1985-2019) (“TOTgnb”) | ||
+ | |||
+ | From these sources the total fertilizer consumption for use in CAPRI (TOTsel) is selected or computed. The application of fertilizer per crop is scaled to TOTsel, so that the sum over all crops (“TOTapp”) is equal TOTsel, the finally consolidated time series. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the following the selections process of fertilizer sources are described in more detail: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The preferred and most reliable source of total fertilizer use in CAPRI (TOTsel) for the time period beginning in 2000 is assumed to be Eurostat’s total consumption of inorganic fertilizers (TOTdom). | ||
+ | |||
+ | This source is completed and replaced by total fertilizer consumption of IFA if Eurostat data is not available or does not appear to be sufficiently reliable. Potassium (K20) fertilizer consumption is missing from Eurostat’s TOTdom series for all European countries. Also, total fertilizers for Western Balkan countries apart from Albania are missing and taken over from IFA (TOTifa). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some exceptions to these general rules: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * In Albania we have the particularity that the potassium series from IFA appeared to be unrealistic. These originally very volatile data were therefore smoothed and interpolated. | ||
+ | * Furthermore, | ||
+ | * Italy’s total fertilizer use is relied on EFMA data (TOTdem), which provides long and reliable time series for all three kinds of fertilizer. | ||
+ | * Potassium for Cyprus from 2011 onwards is taken from TOTdem as TOTifa data shows a high volatility. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our preferred Eurostat data (TOTdom) start only in 2000 such that a backward extension is necessary for CAPRI. Here the data sources are used hierarchically in the following order for completion: (1) Eurostat-EFMA data (TOTdem), (2) IFA fertilizer data which starts 1980 for several countries (TOTifa), (3) UNFCCC total nitrogen consumption (TOTcrf), and (4) Eurostat gross nutrient balance (TOTgnb). | ||
+ | |||
+ | If a different data source is used for the period before 2000, the conversion to the level of the later data source is carried out based on the relation between this source and TOTsel from the oldest common year. All backward extensions involving this level adjustment are marked “bas” in the table below. | ||

+ | Final fertilizer sources (TOTsel) applied in CAPRI: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{table_fertisource.png? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Finally, the fertilizer use per crop is scaled to the total fertilizer use in CAPRI (TOTsel), so that the sum over all crops (TOTapp) is equal to our preferred series TOTsel. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In addition to the total fertilizer time series, CAPRI also uses data on **fertilizer utilization by crop (FUBC).** The following list gives (in a less detailed manner) an overview on the data sources collected and prepared for CAPRI: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Nonpublic FUBC data from the EFMA forecasting exercise in 2008 (fubc0608 (EFMA)). Data exist for the years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2017. The years 2004, 2005 are forecasted by also using EFMA data from 2006 (“FUBCefm”). | ||
+ | - IFA fertilizer data for the 90s (“FUBCifa”) exist for certain European member states, but is missing the Western Balkan Countries apart from Albania as well as Malta, Cyprus, Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Romania. | ||
+ | - Data from a publication in Nature (“FUBCnature”) can be activated for all CAPRI “RMS” regions by setting the global %fert_from_Nature%==ON. The source can be found here: https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | FUBCefm data is backward extended by using FUBCifa. The use of FUBCnature can optionally be used. In the default setting this data source is not considered. If FUBCnature is activated, the source has priority to the combined source of FUBCefma and FUBCifa. | ||
