Global river nutrient export: A scenario analysis of past and future trend

Synthesis of the Global Nutrient export from Watersheds project.

Sharing the reduction effort to limit global warming to 2 degree C

In order to stabilise long-term greenhouse gas concentrations at 450 ppm CO 2 eq or less, developed countries as a group should reduce emissions by 25 to 40% below 1990 levels, by 2020, while…

Sharing developed countries’ post-2012 greenhouse gas emission reductions based on comparable efforts

The Bali Action Plan as adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2007, states that Annex I (developed) countries should reduce their greenhouse gas emissions…

Increasing anthropogenic nitrogen inputs and riverine DIN exports from the Changjiang River basin

Our result indicates that anthropogenically enhanced N inputs dominate and will continue to dominate river DIN yields under changing human pressures in the basin. Therefore, nitrogen pollution is and…

N:P:Si nutrient export ratios and ecological consequences in coastal seas evaluated by the ICEP approach

Calculated Indicator for Coastal Eutrophication Potential (ICEP) for the year 2050 based on Global NEWS data for the four Millennium Ecosystem Assessment scenarios show increasing values particularly…

Downscaling socioeconomic and emissions scenarios for global environmental change research: a review
