ATEAM final report Section 5 and 6 (2001-2004) 20 Ammonium globally accounts for more than half of total nitrogen emission (Holland et al. 1999). The main ammonium source is domestic animal production. Especially for agricultural centres like the Netherlands and Belgium ammonium sources have to be taken into account in nitrogen deposition scenarios. WU is currently exploring the possibilities to include these sources in an advanced version of the ATEAM nitrogen deposition scenarios. Nevertheless, even our current nitrous oxide deposition scenarios are an important step forward in considering the global trend in eutrophication due to atmospheric deposition of nutrients when acknowledging this limitation. Previously estimated nitrous oxide emissions available from EMEP and IIASA (IIASA - International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg, Austria) are smaller, because they neglect background emissions from natural ecosystems and agriculture (Table 4). In regional comparison within Europe, emissions are estimated to be highest in Central Europe as well as in Ireland and Wales Figure 7). Table 4.

The ATEAM modelling framework consists of models for agricultural systems, for forest systems, for biogeochemistry and vegetation cover, for fire driven dynamics, for water catchments, for biodiversity, and for mountain ecosystems (Table 6). We have adapted the structure and content of these ecosystem models to optimise their use for vulnerability assessment at the regional scale for Europe. Where needed and possible, models were enhanced, recalibrated and modified, based on the outcomes of the testing of their performance. In the following we will report on potential impacts that were estimated using these models for European sectors. 18 NUTS2 = Nomenclature des Units Territoriales Statistiques 2: regions or provinces within a country. There are around 500 NUTS2 units, as apposed to only 17 EU countries.
