Netherlands Informative Inventory Report 2007

This explanation of the official Dutch emission data provides a clear view on applicability and verification of emission inventories in the Netherlands up to 2005. It includes descriptions and…

Widening the scope of policies to address climate change: directions for mainstreaming

Both mitigation of and adaptation to climate change require actions to be taken in many sectors of society, but so far this is hardly happening.

Differentiation of countries'future commitments in a post-2012 climate regime: an assessment of the "South-North dialogue" proposal

The 'South–North Dialogue Proposal' outlines an approach for an 'equitable' differentiation of post-2012 commitments. An analysis of the proposal shows that for the stringent stabilisation targets…

Renewable energy sources: their global potential for the first-half of the 21st century at a global level: an integrated approach

Decision-makers, societal groups and scientists have at various moments in time expressed their interest in renewable energy sources such as power from wind, sun and biomass-derived fuels. Recently…

Sinks for nitrous oxide at the earth’s surface

In this study, we focus on bacterial reduction of N 2 O to N 2 and discuss the likeliness of N 2 O uptake in different systems, including soils and aquatic systems. Our results indicate that soils are…

Stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations at low levels: an assessment of reduction strategies and costs

The study shows stabilization as low as 450 ppm CO 2 -eq. to be technically feasible, even given relatively high baseline scenarios. To achieve these lower concentration levels, global emissions need…

The future of vascular plant diversity under four global scenarios

Biodiversity is of crucial importance for ecosystem functioning and human well-being. Using quantitative projections of changes in land use and climate from the four Millennium Ecosystem Assessment…

Denitritication across landscapes and waterscapes: a synthesis

Both newly fixed N and recycled N (e.g., manure) are processed by terrestrial ecosystems. A substantial portion of this recycled N is subsequently transferred to groundwater, wetlands, lakes, rivers…

N2O and NO emission from agricultural fields and soils under natural vegetation

In this paper we present the latest analysis of N 2 O and NO emission measurement data for agricultural soils which has been used in the update of the IPCC Guidelines for National Emission Inventories…

Exploring changes in world ruminant production systems

In the past 30 years world production of ruminant meat and milk has increased by about 40%, while the global area of grassland has increased by only 4%. This is because most of the increase in…
