The conceptual basis for a decision support framework to assess the risk of phosphorus loss at the field scale across Europe

摘要: We report a conceptual framework for simple screening tool to evaluate the vulnerability of different fields in landscape phosphorus (P) loss within European agricultural context. Our work builds on principles established P Index system developed United States. examine differing needs and criteria range EU member states EFTA countries highlight essential optional inclusion decision support depending their ecoregional characteristics. A such as this, meets principle, COST832 Action ‘Quantifying Agricultural Contribution Eutrophication’ it deals with diffuse nutrient sources from agriculture, aids more targeted use practical strategies mitigate losses minimise potential eutrophication receiving waters.
