Regional costs and benefits of alternative post-Kyoto climate regimes: Comparison of variants of the Multi-stage and Per Capita Convergence regimes

This study explores technical, economic and environmental implications of different post-Kyoto climate regimes for differentiation of future commitments that would lead to a stabilisation of…

Exploring climate regimes for differentiation of commitments to achieve the EU climate target

This report explores the implications of various international climate regimes for differentiating post-Kyoto (after 2012) commitments compatible with the EU long-term climate objective to limit…

The GeoPEARL model. Description, applications and manual

The GeoPEARL model presented here is a spatially distributed model describing the fate of pesticides in the soil-plant system. The model calculates the drainage of pesticides into local surface waters…

Effective approaches for predicting environmental concentrations of pesticides: the APECOP project

Environmental fate modelling is now actively used for the registration of plant protection products (PPPs). Yet, to be efficient in a harmonized registration process, the quality of PEC modelling…

Dynamic modelling of surface waters: impact of emission reduction-possibilities and limitations

Dynamic models provide an extension to critical loads by predicting the timescale of chemical recovery to emission reductions. They can also be used to determine the deposition levels required to…

Incorporating macropore flow into focus PEC models

Macropore flow can strongly influence leaching of pesticides in the unsaturated zone, but this process has until now played only a limited role in exposure assessments.

Assessment of pesticide leaching at the Pan-European level using a spatially distributed model

This paper describes the implementation of a Pan-European spatially distributed pesticide leaching model, referred to as EuroPEARL.
