Mineral dust is a constituent of atmospheric particulate matter (PM 10 ). It originates from diverse sources, such as wind erosion, agricultural land management and resuspension by road transport…
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…
The mere protection of valuable nature areas, although still necessary, will not be sufficient for reducing biodiversity loss. To strongly reduce the rate of global biodiversity loss in the coming…
Explaining agricultural intensity at the European and global scale
Agricultural land management and land use intensity differ across the globe but their constraints and drivers are limitedly understood at the continental and global scale. The main objective of this…
Phosphorus demand for the 1970–2100 period: A scenario analysis of resource depletion
