Caption

This map shows nitrogen surplus in Europe, clustered into four categories. Regions in orange (C1) are dominated by nitrogen inputs from animal manure, while blue areas (C2) rely heavily on synthetic fertilizer. Purple regions (C3) reflect a moderate combination of both manure and fertilizer use, and yellow areas (C4) represent more natural landscapes with minimal agricultural inputs.
