Global N removal by freshwater aquatic systems using a spatially distributed, within-basin approach
In this article the role of aquatic systems in the global N cycle is explored using a spatially distributed, within-basin, aquatic nitrogen (N) removal model, implemented within the Framework for…
Temperature increase of 21st century mitigation scenarios
Even the most stringent of climate policies will not be able to prevent global warming entirely, according to a new analysis. In addition to efforts to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, D…
This explanation of the official Dutch emission data provides a clear view on applicability and verification of emission inventories in the Netherlands up to 2006. It includes descriptions and…
Regional abatement action and costs under allocation schemes for emission allowances for achieving low CO2-equivalent concentrations
This paper assesses regional abatement action and costs for two scenarios in which atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations stabilise at 450 and 550 ppm CO 2-equivalent. It evaluates two allocation…
Technology learning is a key driver behind the improvement of (energy) technologies available to mankind and subsequent reduction of production costs. Many of the conventional technologies in use…
To improve the quality of marine habitats, it is necessary to make the fishery more sustainable, improve the water quality and restore the natural dynamics. For the North Sea, spatial regulation is…
Global targets for development and the environment will not be achieved if current trends are to continue. Analyses in IPCC Climate Change 2007, UNEP Global Environment Outlook 4, OECD Environmental…
Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2006
This report presents trends in greenhouse gas emissions, activity data and (implied) emission factors for the period 1990-2006 and sets out the methodology used, data sources and emission factors. The…
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…
Critical loads of sulphur and nitrogen for terrestrial ecosystems in Europe and Northern Asia using different soil chemical criteria
A critical load data base was developed for Europe and Northern Asia using the latest data bases on soils, vegetation, climate and forest growth. Critical loads for acidity and nutrient nitrogen for…
