  1. P5, P25, P50, P75, P95, and P99: 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 95th and 99th population weighted percentiles of the crop densities (%), respectively
  2. aDistribution weighted by numbers of births in the municipalities, over 3 birth periods (based on the 1988, 2000 and 2010 agricultural censuses)
  3. b99th percentile is greater than 100% because the cropland areas reported in the agricultural censuses are assigned to the municipality of the farm headquarter, which may not be the municipality where the land plots are situated
