Role in the project
The University of Tartu contributes to NitroScope through its expertise in soil science, nitrogen cycling and environmental monitoring in nemoral and northern European conditions. Within WP3, the University supports data collection at regional and intensive monitoring sites, providing harmonised datasets on soil nitrogen dynamics, greenhouse gas emissions and key environmental drivers.
In addition, the University of Tartu contributes to the analysis and interpretation of nitrogen flux data, supporting model calibration and cross-regional comparisons. Its work helps strengthen the representation of cool-temperate agroecosystems in NitroScope’s modelling framework and European nitrogen budget assessments.
