Natural background concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen in the Dutch Wadden Sea

The aim of the present report is to develop and apply a practical strategy to assess the concentration of nutrients in the Wadden Sea. To meet this objective two tasks are formulated: firstly, to assess the nutrient concentrations in the adjacent North Sea area representing the period before 1930, as well as nutrient concentrations and loads by the fresh water inputs to the Dutch Wadden Sea; secondly, to estimate the nutrient concentrations in the basins of the Dutch Wadden Sea from these concentrations and from loads of rivers and the adjacent North Sea area.
