“…3a). During the late 1960s and the 1980s, the use of fertilizers rapidly increased in the Netherlands (e.g., Wolf et al, 2003), which resulted also in changes in the composition of diatom assemblages and alternation in dominant species all typical for eutrophic waters (e.g., Ramstack et al, 2003;Bradbury et al, 2004).…”

We studied the trophic development of the past 30-100 years in eight moderately deep Dutch lakes based on their sedimentary fossil diatom assemblages. The dominant diatoms indicating meso-to eutrophic conditions were Aulacoseira subarctica, Cyclotella ocellata, C. cyclopuncta, C. meneghiniana, Puncticulata bodanica, Aulacoseira granulata, Cyclostephanos dubius, C. invisitatus, Stephanodiscus hantzschii, S. medius, and S. parvus. Ordination of diatom data separated the lakes into four groups according to their total phosphorus concentrations (TP), water supply, water management, and origin. The first group consists of dike-breach lakes, which were in stable eutrophic to hypertrophic conditions throughout the past century with diatom-inferred TP (DI-TP) concentrations of between 70 and 300 lg l -1 . The main factors influencing these dike-breach lakes are river management, ground water supply of riverine origin, and local land use. The second group are artificial lakes of fluctuating oligo-to mesotrophic conditions and DI-TP concentrations of 10-30 lg l -1 . Only one of the artificial lakes showed a DI-TP increase due to changes in catchment agricultural practice. A third group includes an artificial moat and an inland dike-breach lake with DI-TP concentrations of 50-100 lg l -1 . The fourth group contains an individual dike-breach lake with stable mesotrophic conditions of 50 lg l -1 throughout the past century. Rather than showing a regional pattern, the studied lakes behave very individualistically with regard to their trophic history, reflecting changes in the local hydrology and in their nutrient sources.

“…Although the SWAP-ANIMO model combination has over 100 input parameters, for most soils in The Netherlands default values are available (Wolf et al, 2003;Wösten et al, 1994), which makes it easily applicable to soils in The Netherlands, and to comparable soils elsewhere, without extensive measurement campaigns or tuning of input parameters.…”

Modelling the effect of aggregates on N<sub>2</sub>O emission from denitrification in an agricultural peat soil

Abstract. Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions are highly variable in time, with high peak emissions lasting a few days to several weeks and low background emissions. This temporal variability is poorly understood which hampers the simulation of daily N 2 O emissions. In structured soils, like clay and peat, aggregates hamper the diffusion of oxygen, which leads to anaerobic microsites in the soil, favourable for denitrification. Diffusion of N 2 O out of the aggregates is also hampered, which leads to delayed emissions and increased reduction of N 2 O to N 2 . In this model simulation study we investigate the effect of aggregates in soils on the N 2 O emissions. We present a parameterization to simulate the effects of aggregates on N 2 O production by denitrification and on N 2 O reduction. The parameterization is based on the mobileimmobile model concept. It was implemented in a field-scale hydrological-biogeochemical model combination. We compared the simulated fluxes with observed fluxes from a fertilized and drained peat soil under grass.The results of this study show that aggregates strongly affect the simulated N 2 O emissions: peak emissions are lower, whereas the background emissions are slightly higher. Including the effect of aggregates caused a 40 % decrease in the simulated annual emissions relative to the simulations without accounting for the effects of aggregates. The new parameterization significantly improved the model performance regarding simulation of observed daily N 2 O fluxes; r 2 and RMSE improved from 0.11 and 198 g N 2 O-N ha −1 d −1 to 0.41 and 40 g N 2 O-N ha −1 d −1 , respectively. Our analyses of the model results show that aggregates have a larger impact on the reduction than on the production of N 2 O. Reduction of N 2 O is more sensitive to changes in the drivers Correspondence to: P. C. Stolk (petra.stolk@wur.nl) than production of N 2 O and is in that sense the key to understanding N 2 O emissions from denitrification. The effects of changing environmental conditions on reduction of N 2 O relative to N 2 O production strongly depend on the NO 3 content of the soil. More anaerobic conditions have hardly any effect on the ratio of production to reduction if NO 3 is abundant, but will decrease this ratio if NO 3 is limiting. In the first case the emissions will increase, whereas in the second case the emissions will decrease. This study suggests that the current knowledge of the hydrological, biogeochemical and physical processes may be sufficient to understand the observed N 2 O fluxes from a fertilized clayey peatland. Further research is needed to test how aggregates affect the N 2 O fluxes from other soils or soils with different fertilization regimes.
