Increasing anthropogenic nitrogen inputs and riverine DIN exports from the Changjiang River basin
Our result indicates that anthropogenically enhanced N inputs dominate and will continue to dominate river DIN yields under changing human pressures in the basin. Therefore, nitrogen pollution is and…
N:P:Si nutrient export ratios and ecological consequences in coastal seas evaluated by the ICEP approach
Calculated Indicator for Coastal Eutrophication Potential (ICEP) for the year 2050 based on Global NEWS data for the four Millennium Ecosystem Assessment scenarios show increasing values particularly…
Peatlands are found on all continents, however, uncertainties regarding their size and exact locations are very high. Horticulture is the main user of peat in the Netherlands. Compared to other…
Progress in the modelling of critical thresholds, impacts on plant species diversity and ecosystem services in Europe. CCE Status report 2009
The CCE Status Report 2009 demonstrates that effects of nitrogen deposition are interrelated with the change of climate and biodiversity. The report proposes indicators, modelling methodologies and…
Human alteration of the global nitrogen and phosphorus soil balances for the period 1970–2050
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) scenarios allow for describing contrasting future developments in agricultural nutrient use under changing climate for the next five decades. Massive…
Global nitrogen and phosphate in urban wastewater for the period 1970 to 2050
This paper constitutes the first spatially explicit, global assessment of sewage N and P emissions to surface water for the period 1970 to 2000, and the first projection of such N and P emissions for…
Global patterns of dissolved silica export to the coastal zone: Results from a spatially explicit global model
This study presents a model for river export of dissolved SiO 2 , with river-basin spatial scale and an annual temporal scale. The model is based on four variables with a significant influence on DSi…
From forest to waste: assessment of the Brazilian soybean chain, using nitrogen as a marker
With economic growth, urbanization and changing diets, world demand for plant-derived oils and their derivates is soaring. Oils are used inter alia in the food, feed and cosmetics industry, and…
Bottom-up uncertainty estimate of global ammonia emissions from global agricultural production systems
n this paper we describe differences in the uncertainty of NH 3 emissions from agriculture and the major factors determining the uncertainty between countries and world regions, i.e. the USA, the…
