C.I. corresponds to the 95% confidence interval range. Crop types are classified in AC (annual crops including non-flooded rice), R (flooded rice), and PC (perennial crops). Fertilizer types are grouped in AN (Ammonium nitrate), Urea & NI (Urea with N inhibitor), and Other N Fertilizers (which includes Urea, Urea with additives, Ammonium, Potassium Sodium and Calcium nitrate, mixture of various synthetic N fertilizers, animal manure and other organic fertilizers, Organic mix with Mineral-N). The N2O-EF in flooded rice crop (R) was not calculated as the subpopulation of R was characterized by only studies with length shorter than six months.
