Subject:
canola; farming systems; flow; forests; grasslands; groundwater; groundwater flow; groundwater recharge; hydrologic models; land use change; nitrates; peas; potatoes; variability; winter wheat; Baltic Sea; Poland
Abstract:
... This study focuses on the modeling of groundwater flow and nitrate transport in a multi-aquifer hydrosystem in northern Poland, adjacent to Puck Bay (Baltic sea). The main goal was to investigate how changes in land use and farming practices may affect groundwater recharge and submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) to the sea and the associated N-NO₃ fluxes. An integrated modelling approach has bee ...

Abstract:
... This paper studies the relative importance of societal drivers and changing climate on anthropogenic nutrient inputs to the Baltic Sea. Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and Representative Concentration Pathways are extended at temporal and spatial scales relevant for the most contributing sectors. Extended socioeconomic and climate scenarios are then used as inputs for spatially and temporally detail ...

Abstract:
... Long-term scenario analyses can be powerful tools to explore plausible futures of human development under changing environmental, social, and economic conditions and to evaluate implications of different approaches to reduce pollution and resource overuse. Vulnerable ecosystems like the Baltic Sea in North-Eastern Europe tend to be under pressure from multiple, interacting anthropogenic drivers bo ...

Abstract:
... Combined and separate impact of climate and land use change on the future river runoff was assessed in the eastern Baltic Sea region by using the SWAT (The Soil and Water Assessment Tool) hydrological model. SWAT was applied to assess how plausible changes in climate and land use may affect the river hydrology by the end of the century. The model was calibrated and validated for a period from 1970 ...

Abstract:
... The ecological state of the Baltic Sea and the inland waters has raised interest in reducing nutrient loads from anthropogenic sources. In this study our main aim was to estimate the trends in agricultural nitrogen and phosphorus fluxes and to explain them by large scale changes in land use and climate. We used long-term monitoring data of discharge and nutrient concentrations of seven small catch ...

Abstract:
... The Isthmus of Karelia is located in North-West Russia, between Lake Ladoga and the Baltic Sea. At the end of World War II (WWII), Finland ceded the western part of the Isthmus to the Soviet Union. In 1991 the Soviet Union ceased to exist. The Isthmus became a part of the Russian Federation. Using land cover data from the years 1939, 1987 and 2005 we document and analyze land use change on the Ist ...

Abstract:
... The development since the beginning of the 20th century of the pollen-analytical theory and method as a palaeoecological tool for describing landscape development is outlined with reference to southern Scandinavia. Numerical methods applied since the 1980s are discussed. The aim of this paper is to provide a new perspective on the landscape development and human impact during the Holocene by apply ...

Soil and Water Assessment Tool model; climate; climate change; coasts; constructed wetlands; crop yield; eutrophication; intensive farming; land cover; land use change; pollution load; rivers; spring; water quality; watersheds; winter; Baltic Sea; Poland
Abstract:
... Currently, there is a major concern about the future of nutrient loads discharged into the Baltic Sea from Polish rivers because they are main contributors to its eutrophication. To date, no watershed-scale studies have properly addressed this issue. This paper fills this gap by using a scenario-modeling framework applied in the Reda watershed, a small (482 km²) agricultural coastal area in northe ...
