Nitrogen losses from Austrian agricultural soils –modelling to explore trade off-effects
Abstract
NitroAustria analyses N2O emissions from arable soils in Austria with process based ecosystem modelling. N and GHG budgets will be produced. Hot spots, hot moments and fertilisation optimisation measures will be assessed based on simulation calculations and region specific emission factors will be derived. NitroAustria includes Austrian specific data on agricultural management and integrates climate change scenarios. Results will be evaluated for integration into the national emission inventory.
