Estimation of global NH3 volatilization loss from synthetic fertilizers and animal manure applied to arable lands and grasslands
One of the main causes of the low efficiency in nitrogen (N) use by crops is the volatilization of ammonia (NH 3 ) from fertilizers. Information taken from 1667 NH 3 volatilization measurements…

Energy use and emissions by rail transport; description and results of the model PRORIN
Specific energy use by trains is generally based on aggregated data on energy use and transport volume (top-down method). However, in order to determine specific energy use for new rail concepts or to…
Assessing effects of forecasted climate change on the diversity and distribution of European higher plants for 2050
The rapidly increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases may lead to significant changes in regional and seasonal climate patterns. Such changes can strongly influence the diversity and…
Without US participation, the emission permit price is estimated to be low. Therefore, banking hot air by Russia and the Ukraine is of absolute importance for the development of a viable emissions…
Bridging Interest, Classification and Technology Gaps in the Climate Change Regime
The climate change regime is affected by a major credibility gap; there is a gap between what countries have been stating that they are willing to do and what they actually do.
The N budget for Europe (excluding the former Soviet Union) indicates that the 3 principal driving forces of the acceleration of the European N cycle are fertilizer production (14 Mt (mill. tonnes) N…
