Extended Data Fig. 4: Trade balance of soil-P deficits by region and sector over 48 years for top 20 net-importing and net-exporting countries/regions.
From: Impacts of global trade on cropland soil-phosphorus depletion and food security
The green bars to the left of X = 0 signify the rise in soil-P deficits within a particular region’s agricultural system due to trade, whereas the varied bars on the right side of X = 0 indicate an escalation in soil-P deficits in foreign regions due to the consumption of products from a specific sector within that region. See Supplementary Table 6 for full names and abbreviations of 90 countries and regions. ‘Agri products’ refer to Agricultural products. ‘Manuf products’ refer to manufacturing products. ‘Acc & FS’ refer to Accommodation and food service. ‘Fin, Ret, & Whol’ refer to Finance, retail, and wholesale.
