Eutrophication Impacts Embodied in Trade

Caption

a, Top five continent-level displacements of marine (top, kt N eq.) and freshwater (bottom, kt P eq.) eutrophication associated with trade satisfying food and non-food demand. b, Global trade marine (top, Mt N eq.) and freshwater (bottom, kt P eq.) footprints (FPs) over time based on production sector and consumed product type. Arrows in a represent the gross flow of embodied impacts that occur in the country of origin (start of arrow) for the consuming country (point of arrow). Grey shading differentiates regions.
