Regional Manure and Ammonia Policy Map for Nitrate and Ammonia Measures

A work map from the Plan of Approach Regional Manure and Ammonia Policy, established by GS in September 2000. The layer was compiled using a selection on a vegetation map and a buffered dry sand map from a 1998 decision. The dataset is provided by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations under a CC-PDM-1.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze historical land-use zoning for nutrient management based on the vegetation and sand map selections.
• Study the spatial implementation of regional manure and ammonia policies based on the compiled work map.
• Model potential environmental impacts of historical agricultural regulations based on nitrate and ammonia measure data.

Strengths

• Based on a defined policy plan (Plan of Approach Regional Manure and Ammonia Policy) from September 2000.
• Compilation methodology is described, involving selections from a vegetation map and a 1998 sand map decision.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
