NitroEurope - or NEU for short - is a project for integrated European research into the nitrogen cycle. NitroEurope is part of the EU's Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, and will run for 5 years from February 2006 until 2011.
Summer - Dehesa de Navalvillar; COTAG system Level 2 site Spain.

Biogeosciences Special Issue (update)
Submitted by stefan_reis on Wed, 20/04/2011 - 08:16.The special issue Nitrogen & Global Change in Biogeosciences (http://www.biogeosciences.net/special_issue93.html) is coming along nicely, with 14 papers already published in BG and more in review and planned for submission. We anticipate a total volume of more than 40-50 papers once all submissions have gone through peer review and have been thoroughly evaluated.
The final deadline for this special issue is April 30, 2012. After this date, we cannot accept further submissions.
Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen
Submitted by stefan_reis on Fri, 15/04/2011 - 12:19.The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen
This week over 350 scientists, policymakers, industry and NGO representatives gathered in Edinburgh, Scotland at the ‘Nitrogen and Global Change’ international conference.
During the week the first European Nitrogen Assessment was published, the impact of reactive nitrogen on Europe’s wildlife and forests was discussed, and a Nitrogen footprint calculator was launched.
At the closing session of the conference the delegates agreed a statement ‘The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen’ outlining mechanisms for tackling the threats of nitrogen pollution in Europe and beyond.
The Edinburgh declaration:
European Nitrogen Assessment
Submitted by stefan_reis on Mon, 11/04/2011 - 20:08.The European Nitrogen Assessment (ENA) has been launched at the Nitrogen & Global Change event in Edinburgh today. You can watch a short video about the ENA on YouTube here and read more on the ENA on the ESF-NinE website.
The BBC News have covered the issue, see the video on the BBC website and coverabe in the Science and Environment section.
Dynamic modelling of Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) in perennial ecosystems (PhD)
Submitted by agnieszka_eljasz on Tue, 13/12/2011 - 14:47.Dynamic modelling of Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) in perennial ecosystems (PhD)
Introduction
Long-lived radionuclides released from an underground nuclear waste repository may reach the surface ecosystem via the groundwater and, therefore, constitute a potential risk for humans and biota through different pathways. Due to their perennial character, forest vegetation or perennial vegetation systems in general, may affect radionuclide dispersion and distribution in the biosphere in the long-term. The purpose of this project is to contribute to the development of a Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT)model to quantify this problem, aiding the assessment of long-term risks related to deep nuclear disposal.
