 +<P>For <B>gaseous emissions of nitrogen</B> there are results for two different approaches combined:</P>
 +
 +    <H3>Emission factor approach</H3>
 +
 +    <P>The emission factor approach used during spatial downscaling to estimate gaseous emissions per grid cell
 +
 +    is taken over from CAPRI where it is to a large extent harmonized with the MITERRA model, thanks to a
 +
 +    <a class="intext" HREF="http://ec.europa.eu/environment/archives/air/cafe/activities/ammonia_en.htm"> recent project</a>
 +
 +    for DG-ENV. Emsisions factors for specific sources (manure storage, manure application, animals in stables..)
 +
 +     are linked to animal activities or spreading of fertilizers, and depend on factors as the share of specific animal housing systems where data are typically
 +
 +     based on expert knowledge and inputted at the national level. The emission factor approach is closely linked to the
 +
 +     <a class="intext" HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:concept:nbal">nitrogen balance</a> calculation.</P>
 +
 +     <P>The application of emissions factors provides a rather robust and simple way of estimating gas losses from agriculture. The data at grid level
 +
 +     are linearly depending on animal stocking densities, crop shares and fertilizer applications.<P>
 +
 +
 +
 +    <H3>Use of the bio-physical model DNDC</H3>
 +
 +        <P>For emissions occuring outside stables and storage, DNDC provides a far more complex way based on deterministic bio-physical simulation model
 +
 +        where soil and weather in combination farm management determine gaseous emissions.</P>
 +
 +        <P>The calculation per grid cell is based on the application of <a class="intext" HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:concept:DNDCMeta">statistical meta-model derived from DNDC.</a></P>
 +
 +        <P>The emissions simulated by DNDC cannot directly be compared with those reported from the emission factor approach as DNDC as mineralization from
 +
 +         soils into account and thus provides an additional source of nitrogen which is not included in the
 +
 +         nitrogen balance approach to which the emission factor approach is linked.</P>
