mean potential nitrate discharge risk (landing method)
Description
The mean potential risk of nitrate discharge is assessed by leaching nitrate from the root space of the vegetation by leaching soil water. The place of assessment is the lower limit of the rooted soil layer. The quotient of leachate rate and usable field capacity in the effective root space (nFCs) initially provides the exchange frequency of the plant-available soil water. This is classified in 5 levels (very low — very high) and results in the PNAG. The characteristic value of the potential nitrate discharge hazard is not suitable for deriving quantitative statements, since usage-dependent influences (including crop type, nitrogen quantities added and discharged, autumn nitrate content in soil) are not taken into account. The landing method for the calculation of the potential nitrate discharge hazard represents a modification of the bundle method in which the particular hazard to groundwater sites and bog sites is taken into account.
