Biography
Csilla Farkas was graduated as a hydrologist and holds a Ph.D. in earth sciences. She has worked in the fields of soil hydrology, soil erosion, catchment hydrology and water quality. She has experience i) in mathematical modelling of land use, management, and climate change indicated changes in water, particle and nutrient transport in the soil and within the landscape and ii) in studying the spatio-temporal variability of soil properties and water balance elements.

This study proposes a new workflow for crop growth evaluation and yield calibration in the Soil and Water Assessment Tool Plus (SWAT+) model and evaluates its impact on simulated hydrological and biogeochemical processes. The workflow was applied for ten small agricultural catchments in Europe. A detailed demonstration is provided for the German catchment, Schwarzer Schöps. The workflow proved effective across all catchments, improving yield calibration from an initial R2 of 0.5–0.84. The results show that evapotranspiration and soil moisture were only moderately affected by crop calibration in three catchments (Belgium, Czech Republic and Norway) and negligibly changed in the remaining ones. Sediment and nutrient balance were affected more strongly: sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus loss change reached 82 % (Norway), 16 % and 20 % (Czech Republic), respectively. The proposed workflow is a valuable tool for improving the accuracy of SWAT + simulations and can be used to support decision-making in environmental management.
Abstract
SWAT+ modelling and scenario results for changes in nitrate leaching to shallow groundwater in the Himmerland catchment, Denmark, with afforestation, set aside and fertilization reduction. Results are calculated for present and future climate conditions.

ENGAGE: Europe Nutrient Management - Guided Approaches for Greater Export reduction
ENGAGE aims to operationalise a novel vision for the future of multi-scale nutrientexport reduction and associated ecosystem services in national andtransboundary/international river basins in Europe by bringing together robuststakeholder engagement strategies with coupled state-of-the-art computationalhydrology techniques and online interactive use-tailored DS tool approaches that integrate remote sensing, socio-economic, governance, and society-change decisionelements.
