1 33 rd ICP M & M Task Force Meeting New Results of Critical Load Calculation including Biodiversity Hans-Dieter Nagel, Angela Schlutow & Yolandi Bouwer (OEKO-DATA) Markus Geupel & Thomas Scheuschner (UBA) Wallingford, UK
2 The response of the German NFC to the Call for Data focuses on the ical loads based on biodiversity. Despite this, the classical ical loads that protect ecosystems against acidification and / or eutrophication were also submitted. The dataset was completed by information on the protection status of the ecosystems (e.g. SPA or SAC under the NATURA 2000 framework) and an overview of EUNIS classes relevant for Germany. The German dataset consists of 1.26 million records representing about 30 % percent of the territory. What is really new? For the first time the new CORINE 2012 land use data formed the basis for the derivation of ecological receptors. A high-resolution data set with a spatial resolution of one hectare was used. The high resolution of this base layer has the effect that smaller, more sensitive habitats in need of protection have been recorded. In addition due to the broadened scope focusing on biodiversity, the precautionary environmental protection could be expanded

7 For the purpose of deriving the appropriate or meaningful receptors the classification scheme used in the CORINE land use dataset was found to be too coarse. For example, in the case of forests, CORINE only distinguishes between deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests. However, the receptors are supposed to consist of site-typical vegetation units, from which the main tree species and characteristic herb and grass species of the forests, woodlands and open land receptors emerge. In order to classify site-typical vegetation species, climate, soil and land use data was combined spatially. From the spatial intersection of the digital CORINE land use map, the differentiated soil survey map of Germany (BÜK1000N) and the climatic regions, 1028 different combination types emerged for the German ical load dataset. From this a total of 233 different plant associations were established in Germany, 132 of which are forest plant communities and 101 open land plant communities. Example: CORINE code + Soil unit + Climate region = Plant community
