Nitrogen and phosphorus diffuse sources in European freshwater (2005-2012) - (v. mar.2019)

Collection: WPI : Water Pressure Indicators 

Description

Spatial dataset consisting of annual nutrient diffuse sources emissions for 2005-2012 estimated at freshwater functional elementary catchments level and considered in the model GREEN (Grizzetti et al., 2012; March 2019 version). Diffuse sources of nutrients comprise agriculture (mineral and organic fertilization), nitrogen fixation by crops and in soils, nitrogen atmospheric deposition, phosphorus releases from natural areas, and scattered dwellings. 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)
