Detailed Annexes to the “UNECE Guidance document on national nitrogen budgets"

Abstract

Anthropogenic activities to a great extent influence and alter the natural nitrogen cycle. The existing guidance document offers detailed description to inventory human influenced nitrogen fluxes on a national level. In eight chapters, the eight technical annexes are described to implement a national nitrogen budget. A National nitrogen budget serves as a tool of the Geneva Convention on long-range transboundary air pollution to quantify and illustrate the effects of nitrogen pollution and to evaluate considered reduction options.
