Conclusions

• The projected nitrogen exports contain high uncertainties due to the underlying uncertainties in the projected precipitation and potential land use changes.

• There is no significant trend within the projected nitrogen exports at the annual scale.

• The nitrogen exports at the monthly scale indicate distinct changes: Higher exports during the winter month and lower exports in spring.
