Ammonia emissions from agricultural products at high resolution across Europe

Ammonia (NH ₃ ) has significant adverse effects on biodiversity, human and ecosystem health. More than 90% of European ammonia emissions are from manure and synthetic fertilizer so understanding emissions from agricultural products at a high-resolution is essential for policy making. Here, we present an Agricultural, Product-specific, NH ₃ emission dataset (AP-AMMO) for 17 crop groups, 2 grass types, and 6 livestock types across Europe at 5-arc minute resolution for 2017. We disaggregate livestock-manure systems and connect manure-crop links through the harmonization of multiple data sources. We show top emitting livestock products (dairy cattle, other cattle, and swine) and crop products (wheat, barley, maize, rapeseed, and permanent grasses) are responsible for 66% and 14% of total emissions, respectively. We show good agreement with other existing datasets when aggregated to national level. This database can provide a solid data basis for future food system transitions in Europe.
