Nitrogen inputs in China’s coastal waters are strongly concentrated in areas close to river mouths and regions with marine aquaculture production
The authors evaluated the ecological realism of BioScore, a European scale species distribution model (SDM) of 1476 terrestrial vascular plant species. It is shown that the species niche optima of temperature are ecologically most realistic, which reflects that temperature is...
Veel grote ondernemingen besteden in hun publieke jaarverslagen aandacht aan klimaatverandering, bijvoorbeeld over hun bijdrage aan broeikasgasemissies. Slechts weinige maken duidelijk hoe ze met de gevolgen van klimaatverandering om willen gaan. Beursgenoteerde bedrijven...
Humanity's transformation of the nitrogen cycle has major consequences for ecosystems, climate and human health, making it one of the key environmental issues. Understanding how trends could evolve over the course of the 21st century is crucial for scientists and...
Land use related to human consumption patterns leads to significant loss of biodiversity. Here, the implications of using different indicators in the calculation of biodiversity footprints caused by land use were analyzed. Footprints refer to the impacts related to the net...
Mitigating agricultural ammonia (NH3) emissions in China is urgently needed to avoid further damage to human and ecosystem health. Effective and feasible mitigation strategies hinge on integrated knowledge of the mitigation potential of NH3 emissions and the associated...
Beleidsmakers, planners en ontwerpers hebben vaak moeite met de onzekerheid die inherent is aan langetermijnprocessen. In de studie Oefenen met de Toekomst (2019) heeft het PBL vier scenario’s ontwikkeld voor verschillende toekomsten van stedelijke ontwikkeling,...
This article presents a spatially explicit inventory of nutrient emissions from aquaculture to waterbodies for 2006 and 2017. Aquaculture production and nutrient excretion are now comparable to that of livestock production in China. Nutrient release from fish cultures is an...
Mining areas have impact on many landscapes worldwide. To quantify these impacts, global and consistent datasets of mining areas are needed. The authors of this study used remote sensing images to produce detailed maps of 295 mines worldwide, covering the majority of the...
The new version of the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR v4.3.2) compiles gaseous and particulate air pollutant emissions, making use of the same anthropogenic sectors, time period (1970–2012), and international activity data that is used for...
