What immediate impact will the court ruling have on nitrogen levels in vulnerable nature reserves like the Engbertsdijkvenen?

A court ruling mandates increased government efforts to reduce nitrogen in vulnerable nature reserves, which is positive news for the Engbertsdijkvenen, a protected peat bog in Overijssel, Netherlands. For years, the area has suffered from excess nitrogen, hindering the growth of vital peat moss and promoting the growth of other plants and trees. This ruling offers the potential for external improvements, supplementing current internal conservation measures.
