Aarhaus University

Aarhus University - Bioscience (AU-Bios), Denmark, has the main responsibility to guide the Ministry of Environment in Denmark and has as such being responsible for the nitrogen monitoring in surface waters and agricultural catchments for more than 25 years. Have several Danish and International projects that include Nitrogen assessments and modelling that can support the INMS project including our nearly 30 years of N data collected that are stored in databases.

Aarhus University - Agro (AU-Agro), Denmark, has for many years been conducting research and providing policy support on nitrogen flows in agricultural systems. This work has included the development and use of methods to quantify nitrogen flows at field, farm and regional scales. Furthermore, we have conducted extensive experimentation at the level of the animal, manure management system and field to identify practical measures that can be taken to reduce losses of nitrogen to the environment. Recently, sustainable intensification of cropping systems to support green biorefinery and protein production has been developed. Provides policy support to the Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries for Denmark. As such, AU-Agro is familiar with dealing with the technical, regulatory and economic aspects of nitrogen management policy.

Aarhus University - Department of Environmental Science (AU-Envs), Denmark, operates the Danish air quality monitoring program, and in relation to this work Danish nitrogen budgets are established each year by comparing Danish emissions to nitrogen deposition to Danish marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Includes scenario studies of the contribution from Danish and foreign sources as well as projections on future development in nitrogen depositions. ENVS AU produce the Danish national emission inventories incl. those for atmospheric releases of nitrogen, with experience of high temporal and spatial resolution emission inventories. Experience and economic valuation of the environmental pressures from various sectors.
