Table 2 Global and regional NH3 emissions and mitigated emissions in reference year 2010, and projections for 2041–2050 and 2091–2100 using climate data from SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 (for scenarios, see Fig. 4, with effects of other socio-economic drivers excluded)

From: Global warming increases ammonia emissions and reduces the efficacy of mitigation actions
