Embedding
• INI was established in 2003 • Joint SCOPE and IGBP Project• Tries to find solutions to the nitrogen paradox
(needed for plant growth, but causing damage in excess)

Key focal areas1. Regional N budgets and N pathways/emissions 2. N compounds in air and water and their relation to effects on
ecosystems and human health 3. Effects of N inputs on terrestrial ecosystems, in interaction with air
quality and climate change 4. N inputs and effects on aquatic/marine ecosystems 5. Links of N and P use and transfer on food productivity and adverse
environmental impacts 6. Regional boundaries for N and P use in view of food production and
adverse environmental impacts 7. N management across Europe and current best practice in Europe
