SPRINT Case Study Sites (CSS) location, crops and livestock.
Blue on the map = Northern Europe, Green = Central Europe, Red = Southern Europe. Italian and French CSS have no livestock. CSS 2 (Portugal) and CSS 9 (Netherlands) are reference CSS for modelling. At these reference locations, additional water, sediment and air samples will be collected.

Fig 3.
Overview of matrices and populations sampled in SPRINT Case Study Sites (CSS) and respective sampling effort.
Each CSS includes 20 fields (10 conventional/integrated and 10 organic). A maximum of two fields are selected per farm; at least 6 organic and 6 conventional farms are selected per CSS.
