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…
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…
Attainability of PM2.5 air quality standards, situation for the Netherlands in a European context
It is likely that the air quality standards for PM2.5 will be met in time under current and proposed national and European policies, assuming average meteorological conditions. In 2015, the…
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…
