Progress in the modelling of critical thresholds, impacts on plant species diversity and ecosystem services in Europe. CCE Status report 2009
The CCE Status Report 2009 demonstrates that effects of nitrogen deposition are interrelated with the change of climate and biodiversity. The report proposes indicators, modelling methodologies and…
Growing within limits. A report to the Global Assembly 2009 of the Club of Rome
Current trends in fossil-fuel use and inefficient land use will lead to large global environmental problems with respect to climate change and biodiversity loss. Technical and economically feasible…
Current policies are delivering benefits for Dutch nature. The area devoted to nature conservation is increasing and the environmental and spatial conditions are improving. Nevertheless, the trends…
To improve the quality of marine habitats, it is necessary to make the fishery more sustainable, improve the water quality and restore the natural dynamics. For the North Sea, spatial regulation is…
The 2010 targets for biodiversity will not be reached under continuation of the present biodiversity policies. The absence of additional biodiversity policies could come at a considerable price…
Modelling the impacts of European emission and climate change scenarios on acid-sensitive catchments in Finland
The dynamic hydro-chemical Model of Acidification of Groundwater in Catchments (MAGIC) was used to predict the response of 163 Finnish lake catchments to future acidic deposition and climatic change…
Interim evaluation of the Dutch crop protection policy
Crop protection methods in the Netherlands have become more sustainable since 1998 as a result of efforts made by growers. However, at the moment the environmental quality of surface waters does not…
The consequences of interpolating or calculating first on the simulation of pesticide leaching at the regional scale
Models for calculating pesticide leaching require soil data, which is collected at drilling points. This article describes how this information can be interpolated to maps on the national scale and…
Interim Evaluation of the Policy Document On Sustainable Crop Protection
Crop protection methods in the Netherlands have become more sustainable since 1998 as a result of efforts made by growers. However, at the moment the environmental quality of surface waters does not…
Modelling the impact of climate change on the Wadden Sea ecosystem
In the framework of the Dutch National Research Programme on Global Air Pollution and Climate Change, ecological responses of the Wadden Sea ecosystem to changing climate conditions have been studied.
