9. “Biodiversity” critical loads
…for review…

10. Define critical/acceptable value of index … and simplify
4 numbers (CLs): 0 ≤ CLNmin ≤ CLNmax
and 0 ≤ CLSmin ≤ CLSmax

11. NFC submission of critical loads of Biodiversity, protecting 95% of the NFC-specific habitat areas
For sulphur (if N-dep is small)
For nitrogen (if S-dep is small)

12. European database of critical loads of biodiversity NFC data + CCE backgrounddata for other Parties
For nitrogen,
Protecting 95%
For sulphur,

What if no Parties would have submitted data…? European database of critical loads of biodiversity Using CCE backgrounddata for all Parties…

14. What “biodiversity data” is included in the CCE-Alterra European Background Database
About 2.7 million sites distributed over…
…about 1.9 million km2 of habitats…
…with data on about 419 plant species…
…distributed over 23 habitats …
Of these, 6 habitats (H6510, H9410, H6430, H9150, H9100, H9190) cover about 1,2 million km2
…With data on about 113 typical species

16. Preliminary Conclusions and Recommendations
13 Parties submitted critical loads for eutrophication and acidification
Recommendation to EMEB/WGE3 to consider this update for implementation in GAINS
5 Parties (France, Germany, Netherlands, Switserland and Italy) submitted critical loads of biodiversity
CCE is compiling a European Background database of critical loads of biodiversity
At the 33rd TF M&M (Wallingford, 3-6 April 2017) the application of this data base needs to be reviewed and recommended to EMEP/WGE3
A further update of these conclusions and recommendations are prepared for the 33 rd TF M&M, TFIAM (Paris 2-3 May 2017), EMEP/WGE-3 and Finally at EB37 as appropriate
A CCE Final Report 2017 is in preparation to document results of the call for data, a summary of the database structure and tentative findings of scenarion specific scenario assessments (CCE FR 2017, in prep.).
