Human alteration of the global nitrogen and phosphorus soil balances for the period 1970–2050
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) scenarios allow for describing contrasting future developments in agricultural nutrient use under changing climate for the next five decades. Massive…
Modelling recovery from soil acidification in European forests under climate change
A simple soil acidification model was applied to evaluate the effects of sulphur and nitrogen emission reductions on the recovery of acidified European forest soils. In addition we included the…
Modelling the long-term soil response to atmospheric deposition at intensively monitored forest plots in Europe
The dynamic soil chemistry model SMART was applied to 121 intensive forest monitoring plots (mainly located in western and northern Europe) for which both element input (deposition) and element…
Hoe open is de Waddenzee? Een indicator voor de openheid van het Waddenlandschap
Doel van het beleid is het behoud van het open karakter van de Waddenzee. Maar hoe meet je dat? Het PBL heeft een indicator uitgewerkt om de effecten van veranderingen in het landschap op de openheid…
Koolstof (EC/OC) concentraties zoals afgeleid uit routinematige PM-metingen
Fijn stof in Nederland bestaat voor twintig tot dertig procent uit koolstof zo is uit metingen gebleken. Het koolstofdeel van fijn stof wordt tegenwoordig als bijzonder gezondheidsrelevant gezien. De…
Carbon (EC/OC) concentrations as derived from routine PM measurements in the Netherlands
Particulate matter (PM) in the Netherlands consists for 20 to 30% of carbon, according to measurements. This part of PM presently is believed to be especially associated with adverse health effects of…
How well do integrated assessment models simulate climate change?
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are regularly used to evaluate different policies of future emissions reductions. Since the global costs associated with these policies are immense, it is vital…
