Figures & data

Figure 1. Environmental versus economic performance of games played at Wageningen University in 2005–2009. In this graph, the results of 36 games of 16 years are presented. Values show the percentage of change versus the reference game, so an environmental score of 102% indicates that the reduction of pollutants was 2% above the result of the reference game.

Table 1. Distribution of the 31 games among different game strategies.

Figure 2. (a–d) Comparison of the decrease in percentage versus the 2000 level for NO3 leaching, and emissions of NH3, NOx and N2O. The game results are averaged over 31 games. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of this set. The NER data were obtained from Milieucompendium. For NO3, the two indicators from nitrogenius related to nitrate were compared to reported N runoff and leaching in milieucompendium.

The participants of the 4th Nitrogen Conference held in Brazil 2007 could join a contest, the best solution obtained there is shown as Winner 2007.
