ICP Integrated Monitoring of
Air Pollution Effects on Ecosystems
Monitor state and changes with causative explanations
Develop, validate and test models
Detect changes by biomonitoring
Ecosystem investigation
Cause-effect and Cross-media flux approach

critical load exceedances
Robustness
Nitrate conc. Related to critical loads for nutrient N
(ExcCLnutN)
Links between air pollution and biodiversity

Swedish University of Agricultural Sceinces
Common workplan items
continues
Outreach – EECCA, SEE, LTER
CLRTAP Strategy
Move from multiple-pollutants approach to multiple issues and
effects
Key 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
Swedish University of Agricultural Sceinces
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

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
