Describing the effects of acidification on the level of ecosystems, the acid deposition should be available at the scale of ecosystems or at scales which allow for comparison with critical loads. Several models exist for estimating long range transport of acidifying...
For performing assessment studies on the stratosphere and studying the influence of changes in the stratosphere on the troposphere and climate, the Air Research Laboratory of the RIVM has recently implemented a model of the stratosphere. In this report, a description of the...
Uncertainty plays a key role in global integrated assessment modelling. Identifying, illuminating and clarifying uncertainties in the TARGETS model, i.e. Tool to Assess Regional and Global Environmental and Health Targets for Sustainability, is, therefore, a central issue in...

This study surveys current knowledge on emissions of HFCs, PFCs, FICs and SF6.
In this research errors and degrees certainties in the individual EXPECT regions are estimated.
A global inventory with 1 degree time 1 degree resolution was compiled of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions to the atmosphere, including emissions from soils under natural vegetation, fertilized agricultural land, grasslands and animal excreta, oceans, biomass burning, forest...
The objective of this study was to map the grass cover in Dutch heathland nature reserves using Landsat-TM satellite imagery. The grass cover data will be used to initialize the HEATHSOL-model. This model is used for biomass predictions of heather and grass species in natural...
This report is the final summary report of the project "Social causes of the greenhouse effect ; emissions inventories and options for control", funded by the National Research Programme on Global Air Pollution and Climate Change (NRP) and the Environment Directorate of the...
A conceptual framework for UNEP's reporting functions is proposed, aimed at supporting strategic environmental policy development. To this end information should be provided about the past, current and future state of the environment as a function of demographic and...
