Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in European freshwater (1990-2018) - (v. nov.2021)

Spatial dataset consisting of classes of mean annual nutrient concentrations for 1990-2018 estimated at the outlets of freshwater functional elementary catchments with model GREEN (November 2021 version; Vigiak et al., 2022).
Sources of nutrients comprise agriculture (mineral and organic fertilization), atmospheric nitrogen deposition, phosphorus releases from natural areas, scattered dwellings, and point sources (domestic and industrial discharges). Nutrients are reduced by attenuation processes in land and freshwater reaches.
The river basin hydrological data model is based on Catchment Characterisation and Modelling (Vogt et al., 2007; https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dataset/fe1878e8-7541-4c66-8453-afdae7469221) as well as the European catchments and river network system (Ecrins , version 1 - European Environment Agency)
