Dataset of nitrogen in rivers and streams in sub-Saharan Africa

This is a dataset on concentrations and export of all nitrogen compounds in rivers and streams in sub-Saharan Africa reported in scientific literature (n=153) until January 2023. Data are aggregated by site or land use type and, where possible, data are reported for the dry and wet season separately. In addition to concentrations and export of nitrogen compounds, data on ancillary parameters, such as pH, electrical conductivity and dissolved oxygen is also included. The second tab in the file 'Dataset.xlsx' contains links to the individual studies and full references are provided in the file 'Reference list.pdf'.
