Outreach – EECCA, SEE, LTER
CLRTAP StrategyMove from multiple-pollutants approach to multiple issues and effectsKey issues in atmospheric pollution are multiple issues related to climate and biodiversity
ICP IM already long time dealt with such combinations and with an ecosystem approach –i.e. ahead of the strategy development ...

Towards effect related biodiversity indicators using ICP IM data

New reporting format, vegetation
Why do we need to revise the manual?• The current reporting format is based on
aggregated data and mean values.• Reported data does not allow thorough
analyses• The current format is complicated
Implications:• We need raw data in the data base• Easier to report• Less aggregation of data
New reporting format, vegetation
Applies to• Vegetation intensive plots, VG
– For some countries, re-reporting of old data• Vegetation structure and species cover (the
circular plots), VS• Trunk epiphytes, EP
– For some countries, re-reporting of old data

New reporting format, VG
A minimum of changes to be able to analyse the data

IM work on biodiversity
develop a concept for a biodiversity/biological indicators assessment for the ICP IM data
Spatial distribution of indicator species for eutrophication and/or acidification
Trends of indicators on acidity and Nnut
Distribution and temporal trends of species diversity
Biodiversity related to species heterogeneity Swedish University of Agricultural Sceinces
Heavy metals
Concentrations, fluxes and budgetsCritical Load – input amountCritical limit – concentration in soil or water
