Nutrient Balances for Australian Natural Resource Management Zones
Estimating nutrient inputs and removals in Australian agricultural regions.
IPNI-2010-AUS-16
Nutrient balances for Australian NRM zones In 2001, the federal government published an "Australian Agricultural Assessment", as part of a National Land and Water Resources Audit (NLWRA) (see http://www. anra. gov. au/topics/agriculture/pubs/national/agriculture_contents. html) included an assessment of nutrient management in Australian agriculture including a farm-gate nutrient balance for N, P, K, S and Ca. These data are publically available, and are for the audit period around 1994 to 1996. Read more

Interpretive Summary
Using data published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics, a third set of data on nutrient use and agricultural productivity was collated to provide regional estimates of nutrient balance for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulfur (S) across Australia. The results add to earlier data sets giving three audit periods.
This project continues the ongoing work of the IPNI-ANZ program to develop and present nutrient use and removal data from Australian agriculture.
