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.
