World Vitals / Use, nutrients, and impacts
Track fertilizer use, nutrient balances, crop yields, and environmental impacts.
Fertilizer pages should connect production benefits with runoff, emissions, and energy dependencies.
The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.
Database charts
These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.

Fertilizer consumption per hectare helps explain yield pressure and environmental trade-offs.

Production share gives the fertilizer page a second view beyond farm-level consumption.

This paired view helps separate productivity gains from land expansion.
Each dot is one paired year. Hover or focus a dot for both values and the year it represents.
Metric snapshots
Snapshot and live-rate cards are kept separate from historical charts so they do not pretend to show a trend.
