New article (15-05-2007)
An article on nitrate leaching after afforestation has been printed in Global Change Biology 13, 1250–1264 (doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2486.2007.01355.x)Karin Hansen
Book on the total AFFOREST project is out! (22-02-2007)
The total AFFOREST project is described in a book by Springer:
Environmental Effects of Afforestation in North-Western Europe - From Field Observations to Decision Support.
You might order the book at the internet:

The contents of the book are developed techniques to estimate the environmental impacts, guidelines and decision support systems (DSS) to enable national and international policy makers, but also forest managers, to maximize the benefits and minimize the adverse effects of afforestation. This book describes afforestation research and shows the application of the developed decision support system. The results should be applicable throughout northwest Europe and could be extended elsewhere. This book considers three of the most important environmental issues - carbon sequestration in soils and biomass, water surplus and nitrate leaching. The book describes the research to quantify these effects in the field and model them into the future. It will explain how the more detailed models were reduced to "metamodels" suitable for implementation within a real-time management system.Karin Hansen
