Concept MFA-based methodology

A first draft of a harmonized common MFA-based methodology for quantifying and comparing N, P and C stocks and flows across NW European catchments and catchmentsThe final report will be delivered in M28 (D2.2). This is a first draft available for the review at M18. A harmonised common MFA-based methodology for quantifying and comparing N, P and C stocks and flows across NW European catchments and catchmentsA detailed material flow analysis (MFA) of inputs, outputs and internal flows of N, P and C, and their interactions, will be undertaken within each catchment using best available input data for contributing economic activities and sectors. The same MFA model will be applied to all catchments in cooperation with partners and stakeholders. A suite of metrics arising from the MFA, including nutrient efficiency, surplus and losses, will be compared across the catchments.This deliverable is linked to Task 2.2
