We develop and test models and tools that can quantify the agricultural losses of nutrients and the turnover and transport of nutrients to the aquatic environment. The knowledge gained will be used to develop methods to diminish the input of nutrients to surface water.

N-reduction map (generation 1)
We develop models for calculating nitrogen reduction from Danish fields. The objective is to produce a survey map showing the level of nitrogen reduction as well as particularly nitrogen sensitive areas. The map...read more
Mapping of risk areas for phosphorus loss in Denmark
To reduce most efficiently the loss of phosphorus from agricultural areas the effort must be targeted against the areas from which the risk is greatest.
These risk areas are mapped based on knowledge...read more
