In a new publication in Global Biogeochemical Cycles a new component of the IMAGE model is presented: a global model that describes the fate of nitrogen from point and nonpoint sources in the hydrological system up to the river mouths at the 0.5 by 0.5 degree spatial and...
This report describes in much detail the new version of FAIR (Framework to Assess International Regimes for the differentiation of commitments).
The effects of climate change on nature cannot be ignored. Territories of plants and animals are moving to the north, birds start breeding earlier and food chains are being disturbed.
