The INMS Nitrogen Measures Database | Nitrogen Mitigation |
The INMS Nitrogen Measures Database allows users to explore N management measures in greater detail, enriching the overview provided by the guidance document. While the guidance document introduces the key principles of integrated sustainable N management and outlines over 150 measures, the database provides deeper insights into each measure’s application.
| In this INMS guidance document, the principles that underpin integrated sustainable nitrogen management are discussed. An overview of >150 measures to reduce nitrogen losses and improve nitrogen use efficiency throughout the anthropogenic nitrogen cycle are provided. The synergies and trade-offs of applying multiple measures are considered alongside case studies to demonstrate how a 'package of measures' can be selected to achieve integrated nitrogen management for a given system. This guidance document is intended to be used alongside the INMS Nitrogen Measures Database. |

INMS Database of Nitrogen Projects | INMS Data portal |
Containing 80+ project details, the INMS Database of Nitrogen Projects provides a selection of measures to abate excess reactive nitrogen as they were adopted by different funding agencies in the past decades. This database represents an output of the INMS Activity 2.5 "Collation & synthesis of knowledge, experience & measures adopted by GEF and others on excess & insufficient Nr". | The INMS data portal is an international resource for global and regional nitrogen cycle assessment. The data portal shares publicly accessible datasets and work-in-progress for partners across a range of projects. The portal consolidates data-driven evidence of nitrogen pollution and flows across various geographical scales, and explores a variety of impacts, from air pollution, water pollution, climate balance, biodiversity and soils, including impacts. It also features temporal datasets with future global scenario projections, using the 'INMS Scenarios' developed for the International Nitrogen Assessment (INA). The portal features 30+ datasets which have been developed and curated through a range of projects contributing to the INMS process. The datasets (and forthcoming visualization tools) showcase the state-of-the-art on diverse aspects of nitrogen pollution, making these data accessible to a broader audience. Please note: Some datasets are embargoed and only downloadable by registered INMS users. They will be made public after the upcoming INA book, but you can still search and visualise the records. |
INMS Nitrogen Policy Database | N-Print |
This database compiles 2,726 nitrogen policies from 186 countries, sourced from the ECOLEX database and other databases, as originally provided for the publication by Kanter et al, 2020 and subsequently extended for South Asia by the GCRF South Asian Nitrogen Hub by Yang et al. 2022 (966 N policies). The database is searchable by country, keyword, date, policy instrument, economic sector and geographical scale. | The N-Print project is an internationally supported project, of the International Nitrogen Initiative (INI), composed of a team of researchers from the United States and the Netherlands. Its overarching objective is to educate the general public about the causes and effects of nitrogen pollution and illustrate how we can each have an impact on nitrogen pollution through our everyday choices. More broadly, N-print's goal is to reduce global nitrogen pollution, with individual-and institution-level nitrogen footprint tools acting as useful starting points in the conversation around reducing our nitrogen footprints. The multi-country N-print calculator, which is country-specific to account for energy use, food consumption patterns, and food production practices specific to a particular country, is supported by the International Nitrogen Management System. Calculators are now available online for the United States, Brazil, Portugal, Denmark, and Ukraine. Versions are coming soon for additional countries, including for Japan and the Netherlands. |
