    • Nitrogen and phosphorus inputs from fertilizer and manure in the Continental United States, 2002-2017

    Metadata Updated: October 30, 2025

    This dataset contains tables of estimated fertilizer and manure nutrient inputs in kilograms to individual stream catchments of the continental United States from the National Hydrography Dataset Plus Version 2.1 (McKay and others, 2012). These data were downscaled from county-level estimates of nitrogen and phosphorus inputs from Falcone (2021) by allocating mass of applied nutrients to appropriate land-cover from the National Land Cover Dataset and summarizing by catchment. These data were compiled for the years 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017. This data release contains 8 comma separated variable tables that can be linked to the NHD Plus v2 dataset using the COMID unique identifier. Four of these tables contain information on total nitrogen and total phosphorus from fertilizer applications on agricultural and developed lands. The remaining 4 tables contain information on total nitrogen and total phosphorus from confined and unconfined animal manure sources.
