Field sites

MapField includes both validation and demonstration areas. In the validation areas, we test the developed methods in MapField against long time series of measurement data. In the demonstration areas, we show the potential of the MapField methods to select and place N-mitigation measures optimally in the landscape.

Based on knowledge from the validation areas, the entire MapField concept will be tested in selected demonstration areas. Relevant local stakeholders will be included in the process. Stakeholder engagement is important, as the goal of the MapField concept is to select and place measures (such as catch crops, mini-wetlands, etc.) in the landscape optimally, in order to efficiently reduce the losses of nutrients to the aquatic environment.
