Description
Spatial dataset consisting of classes of mean annual nutrient concentrations for 1990-2018 estimated at the outlets of freshwater functional elementary catchments with model GREEN (November 2021 version; Vigiak et al., 2022). Sources of nutrients comprise agriculture (mineral and organic fertilization), atmospheric nitrogen deposition, phosphorus releases from natural areas, scattered dwellings, and point sources (domestic and industrial discharges). Nutrients are reduced by attenuation processes in land and freshwater reaches. The river basin hydrological data model is based on Catchment Characterisation and Modelling
(Vogt et al., 2007; https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dataset/fe1878e8-7541-4c66-8453-afdae7469221) as well as the
European catchments and river network system (Ecrins , version 1 - European Environment Agency)

Data access
File geodatabase distribution containing the following classes:
1.Main table class greenFecConcentrationsRef_vrsNov2021 containing
records of mean annual concentration classes (nitrogen and phosphorus period 1990-2018)
for Ecrins functional elementary catchments.
2.Feature class C_ZHYD containing a subset of ECRINS (EEA) functional elementary catchment geometries to be linked to previous table class via primary/foreign key ZHYD
Refer to item specific geodatabase metadata (also available in pdf format inside download package) for more information.
Web app providing informative support for nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in European freshwater (1990-2018) version nov.2021. The viewer is composed of:
1. Nitrogen concentration layer showing classes of average (2014-2018) concentrations for Ecrins functional elementary catchments (FEC)
2. Phosphorus concentration layer showing classes of average (2014-2018) concentrations for Ecrins functional elementary catchments (FEC)
The application provides a set of standard tools to support data visualization.
