Nutrient flows: losses to water

Web map that represents losses to water related both to Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P). Data come as output of GREEN model and DAYCENT model.

Water
Web map that represents losses to water related both to Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P).
Data come as output of different models:
  • GREEN model:
    • Point sources (N and P)
    • Scattered dwellings (N and P)
    • Load to the sea (N and P)
    • Diffuse emissions (N and P)
  • DAYCENT model:
    • Mean organic N leaching
    • Mean NO3 leaching
Point sources and scattered dwellings data from GREEN model have been aggregated at a country, NUTS2 and river basin level.
Diffuse emissions are represented at a catchment level.
Type of aggregation: total value over area.
Unit of measures: [t]
Spatial coverage of aggregated data: all Europe and outside Europe where GREEN data are available.
 
Data from DAYCENT model are originally provided as raster.
Raster data resolution: 1000 x 1000 m EPSG 3035 LAEA
Raster unit of measures: [kg substance/ha/y]
Reference year: 2010-2019
Raster spatial coverage: agricultural land from Corine Land Cover
Data from raster have been aggregated at a country, NUTS2 and river basin level.
Type of aggregation: mean value over area.
Spatial coverage of aggregated data: EU27 + UK.
Unit of measures: [kg/ha]
 
Map image layer reference system: EPSG 3857 WebMercator.
