POTENTIAL IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON NUTRIENT LOADS IN LITHUANIAN RIVERS Autori: Arvydas PovilaitisData aparitiei: Septembrie / 2018 Revista: Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 17 › Nr. 9 ISSN: 1843 - 3707 ![]() The potential effects of climate change on nutrient (total N and total P) loads in four large-scale (A=2940–6771 km2) river basins in Lithuania were analyzed. The climate impact assessment was based on an ensemble of four (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0 and RCP8.5) future climate projections, representing the averaged outputs from three (GFDL-CM3, NorESM1-M and HadGEM2-ES) global climate models. For each climate projection, near-future (2016–2035) and distant-future (2081–2100) time periods were compared to the baseline period (1986–2005) to distinguish future changes. |
