Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-022-18773-w, published online 25 August 2022

The original version of this Article contained errors. In Figure 3a and b, “KgN” in the y-axis label was incorrectly given as “tN”. The original Figure 3 and the accompanying legend appear below for the record.

Figure 3.

Figure 3

(a) Fertilisation rate, N fertiliser applied per unit of cropland (kgN/ha); (b) amount of synthetic N fertiliser used (kg) per capita; (c) synthetic N fertiliser use: yearly growth rate for different world regions. Data source: FAOSTAT (see also Supplementary Table S4). Reference period: 1961–2018, 5-year moving averages.

In addition, the Supplementary Information contained errors, where the values in the column "N fertiliser use" in Supplementary Table S4 were incorrect.
