Summary

The Nitrogen Deposition dataset contains one variable which defines
the rate of N-deposition by county in mg N/liter of precipitation.

See the references for the sources of these data.

China County Data collection contains seven datasets which were
compiled in the early 1990s for use as inputs to the DNDC
(Denitrification-Decomposition) ... model at UNH. DNDC is a computer
simulation model for predicting carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)
biogeochemistry in agricultural ecosystems. The datasets were compiled
from multiple Chinese sources and all are at the county scale for
1990. The datasets which comprise this collection are listed below.

1) Agricultural Management
2) Crops
3) N-Deposition
4) Geography and Population
5) Land Use
6) Livestock
7) Soil Properties
