Horizontal landscape corridorIn Norway as a whole, the area of agricultural land in use is about 10 360 km2, or 3 percent of the total area of the country. In 2005/2006, the amounts of fertilizer used on agricultural land totalled about 104 100 tonnes of nitrogen and about 12 400 tonnes of phosphorus. These nutrients are an essential basis for increased agricultural production, but if they are lost from the nutrient cycle, they may cause pollution by eutrophication of lakes, rivers and coastal waters.
Jaeren was a land of lakes 100 years ago with high biological diversity, but today these lakes have disappeared.
The big change happened around 1960, the lakes were affected by sewage, fertilizers from agriculture and drainage. The result was a lack of oxygen in the lakes, the plant diversity changed and so did the animal species.
I would like use landscape method reduce the agricultural pollution.
Norway's terrain is long and narrow from north to south. So the coast line is vertical landscape corridor in Norway. I want to add new landscape structure in Jaeren by use water systems.
The new structure is: Horizontal Landscape Corridor.

ReplyDeleteYou still have the three reminders that Geir Numedal came up with, and that I wrote down on the big white paper.
Which Geir again gave to you. Its very important for you to go further on this. As you have seen Anders Hus Folkedal is giving individual tutoring at the studio tomorrow,
Thursday the 8. of mars. Be there and ask him to discuss your next step with you. You have seen his work from Research part one, haven’t you?
