Exploring spatiotemporal changes of the Yangtze River (Changjiang) nitrogen and phosphorus sources, retention and export to the East China Sea and Yellow Sea
Since 1900, N export by the Yangtze river increased 17-fold and that of P 7-fold. This dramatic increase in coastal nutrient loading could lead to declining oxygen concentrations waters, and the…
Reducing external costs of nitrogen pollution by relocation of pig production between regions in the European Union
Relocation of pig production between provinces (224 NUTS2 regions) within the EU27 can reduce the total external costs of nitrogen pollution by about 10% (14 billion €). Eligible regions for…
Voedsel in Nederland: Verduurzaming bewerkstellingen in een veelvormig systeem
Het voedselsysteem dat schuilgaat achter de Nederlandse voedselconsumptie heeft grote effecten op de leefomgeving. In deze notitie bespreken we hoe voedselbeleid, dat consument en ketens als…
Perspectieven op duurzaam voedsel: pluriformiteit in debat en beleid
In deze beleidsstudie onderscheiden we 5 perspectieven op duurzaam voedsel die in het Nederlandse maatschappelijke debat over voedsel en duurzaamheid terugkomen. Elk perspectief vertelt een wezenlijk…
Future agricultural phosphorus demand according to the shared socioeconomic pathways
The five Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) show similar global crop P uptake and P inputs, despite differences in population and incomes. In the sustainability scenario SSP1, the increase in P…
Assessing future reactive nitrogen inputs into global croplands based on the shared socioeconomic pathways
Only under the most optimistic sustainability scenario, the global synthetic fertilizer use in croplands stabilizes or even shrinks in the coming decades. In the most pessimistic fragmentation…
Scientific Opinion on the state of the science on pesticide risk assessment for amphibians and reptiles
The EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues developed an opinion on the science to support the potential development of a risk assessment scheme of plant protection products for…
Pathways for agriculture and forestry to contribute to terrestrial biodiversity conservation: a global scenario-study
While there has been an increase in the societal responses to biodiversity loss, in most cases this will not be sufficient to achieve the biodiversity targets by 2020, let alone to realise the long…
Wat is de toekomst van het Nederlandse landschap? Frank van Dam en Leo Pols gingen in gesprek met Berno Strootman, Rijksadviseur voor de Fysieke Leefomgeving. Bevlogen vanuit verbazing en…
Forms and subannual variability of nitrogen and phosphorus loading to global river networks over the 20th century
Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loading of global aquatic ecosystems has doubled during the 20th century and at the same time has the nutrient composition been disturbed by increasing proportions of…
