It looks to me like Germany has a significant amount of Natura 2000 sites, rather in proportion to NL in terms of land size. However, Germany has triple the percentage of forest compare to NL. Germany also has a lot of manufacturing that NL doesn't have. Both use about 50% of their land for agriculture.
From what I can gather, Dutch farming is higher output - production wise as well as emissions wise.

There is basically less material for the pollutants to disperse. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=File:Gross_Nitrogen_Balance_2000-2008_(kg_N_per_ha_agricultural_land).png https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...
