ATEAM final report Section 5 and 6 (2001-2004) 20<br />
Ammonium globally accounts <strong>for</strong> more than half of total nitrogen emission (Holland et al. 1999). The<br />
main ammonium source is domestic animal production. Especially <strong>for</strong> agricultural centres like the<br />
Netherlands and Belgium ammonium sources have to be taken into account in nitrogen deposition<br />
scenarios. WU is currently exploring the possibilities to include these sources in an advanced version of<br />
the ATEAM nitrogen deposition scenarios. Nevertheless, even our current nitrous oxide deposition<br />
scenarios are an important step <strong>for</strong>ward in considering the global trend in eutrophication due to<br />
atmospheric deposition of nutrients when acknowledging this limitation.<br />
Previously estimated nitrous oxide emissions available from EMEP and IIASA (IIASA - International<br />
<strong>Institute</strong> <strong>for</strong> Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg, Austria) are smaller, because they neglect<br />
background emissions from natural ecosystems and agriculture (Table 4). In regional comparison within<br />
Europe, emissions are estimated to be highest in Central Europe as well as in Ireland and Wales<br />

6.2.1.5 Overview over the complete ATEAM global change input data set<br />
To facilitate collaboration with other projects and institutions we have compiled an overview of the data<br />
sets available from ATEAM in Table 5.<br />
