DIAS Event: 'Landscape, nitrogen and eutrophication of Danish waters' by Stiig Markager
Currently, a ‘Green deal’ is under implementation, that will change our landscape significantly over the coming years. The aim is to reduce farmland by 15 percent, and most likely 20 to 25 percent. Nitrogen loadings will be reduced by 1/3 and over the next 100 years we can hope that our coastal ecosystems are restored. In the lecture, Stiig presented the mechanisms for eutrophication and other press factors on the sea, the development since year 1900, and a forecast for the ‘Green deal’ and our landscape and coastal ecosystems.
