Statement

This dataset was derived Ascott et al. (2017). Nitrate travel time in the vadose zone was derived by combining global models of groundwater table, subsurface porosity and groundwater recharge. Model estimates of nitrate leaching from the base of the soil zone was combined with estimates of travel time to derive the total amount of nitrate stored in the vadose zone. Full details of the methodology are described in Ascott et al. (2017). Ascott, M.J., Gooddy, D.C., Wang, L., Stuart, M.E., Lewis, M.A., Ward, R.S. and Binley, A.M. (2017) Global patterns of nitrate storage in the vadose zone. Nature Communications 8(1), 1416.
