Application of the IPCC uncertainty methods to EDGAR 4.1 global greenhouse gas inventories
The global greenhouse gas emission inventory EDGAR 4.1 for the period 1970-2005 was developed using international statistics and default methods and default emission factors from the latest 2006 IPCC…
Phosphorus demand for the 1970–2100 period: A scenario analysis of resource depletion
The phosphorus (P) cycle has been significantly altered by human activities. For this paper, we explored the sustainability of current P flows in terms of resource depletion and the ultimate fate of…
Global Nutrient Export from WaterSheds 2 (NEWS 2): Model development and implementation
NEWS 2 can be used as an effective tool to examine the impact of polices to reduce coastal eutrophication at regional to global scales. Continued enhancements will focus on the incorporation of other…
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…
This report constituting the Netherlands Informative Inventory Report (IIR) contains information on the inventories in the Netherlands up to 2008. It includes descriptions of methods and data sources…
Setting national emission ceilings for air pollutants: policy lessons from an ex-post evaluation of the Gothenburg Protocol
The Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone, or Gothenburg Protocol (UNECE EB, 1999), was developed within the framework of the UN Convention on Long Range Transboundary…
Consequences of the cultivation of energy crops for the global nitrogen cycle
We quantified the impact of the production of energy crops on the global N cycle for the recently published OECD “Global cooperation for environmental policy” (GC) scenario. We project that large…
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…
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…
