M
The maintenance overviews +
Management intensity crops, expressing actual yield level compared to potential yield. While potential yield is calculated for each grid cell, this parameter is expressed at the regional level. This parameter is based on data and exogenous assumptions - current practice and technological change in agriculture - and is endogenously adapted in the agro-economic model. +
Management intensity of livestock, expressed at the regional level. This parameter is based on data and exogenous assumptions, i.e. current practice and technological change in livestock sectors, and is endogenously adapted within the Agricultural economy component. +
Fraction of manure produced in staples that is spread on agricultural areas. +
Cost of an additional unit of pollution abated (CO2eq). A marginal abatement cost curve (MAC curve) is a set of options available to an economy to reduce pollution, ranked from the lowest to highest additional costs. +
Mitigating environmental changes, such as climate change, biodiversity loss and water stress +
Net costs of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. +
Sustainable forest management aims for maintaining long-term harvest potential and good ecological status of forests (e.g. the nutrient balance and biodiversity). This can be implemented by (i) enlarging the return period when a forest can be harvested again; (ii) only using certain fractions of the harvested biomass and leave the remaining part in the forests. +
N
N and P discharge to surface water. +
Discharge of N and P to surface water from wastewater. +
Net natural exchange of CO<sub>2</sub> between biosphere and atmosphere (NPP minus soil respiration), excluding human induced fluxes such as decay of wood products. +
Ammonia emissions from applied nitrogen fertiliser and manure. +
CO<sub>2</sub> sequestered by plants and incorporated in new tissue in plant carbon pools. +
Level of N deposition or concentration that should not be exceeded. +
Deposition of nitrogen. +
Indicator to account for the fact that tourists do not visit countries in war, with high poverty rates or poor safety conditions. This index includes hunger, refugees, war, corruption, homocides and theft +
Atmospheric concentration of non-CO<sub>2</sub> greenhouse gases. +
Non-CO<sub>2</sub> GHG emissions (CH<sub>4</sub>, N<sub>2</sub>O, Halocarbons). +
Taxes greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture to achieve cost-optimal mitigation in the agricultural sector. +
Basins with ratios above 0.4 are considered to be severely water stressed. Using the projected population in each grid cell, the number of people at severe risk of water stress is determined +
