24th Task Force meeting in Stockholm, 14/15 May 2009

(a) Progress report on indicators linking air pollution and multiple effects, in ex-post integrated assessment

(b) Report on the call for data for the dynamic modelling of vegetation change;

(c) Report on the revision of methods and data to derive empirical critical loads, and workshop in collaboration between the CCE, Germany and Switzerland;

25th Task Force meeting Back-to-back with CCE WS: 19-21 April 2010, Paris 18 participants from 6 countries (Cz, F, D, NL, UK,

USA), WEG, ICPV.


26th Task Force meeting... ... Discussed the following points General

Long term strategy Gothenburg Protocol revision (Input to the revised protocol and annex 1)

Cooperation with other groups under and outside the Convention ICP M&M collaboration with USA Strengthen collaboration with Habitat Directive community Update of the ICP M&M mapping manual on ozone flux calculations and critical levels

Heavy metals Effects of HM emissions relevant to HM protocol revision

Four scenarios analysed in collaboration with TNO and MSC E Conclusions presented at the 47th WGSR


26th Task Force meeting... Also discussed the following points Modeling and biodiversity

Ex-post analysis Preliminary results of call for data 2009

11 countries responded Development of VSD+ linked with vegetation modules Run on 56 sites Training workshop

Proposal for a new call for data in 2010/2011 Increase resolution of CLd in line with new resolution of

EMEP Apply new empirical CLd at national level Collaborate with Habitat Directive leads Continue woron VSD+ and Vegegation modelling


Next: Workplan for 2010/2011 (1/2) Report on the revision of the critical loads database

(following call for data) to: Include updated empirical critical loads, as revised by

the national focal centres (NFCs), in the CCE database and use in the ex-post assessment;

Request and aggregate data from the NFCs in the new EMEP grid systems for deposition models;

Complement results for NFCs on site-specific dynamic modelling of vegetation changes, including updated version of the extended very simple dynamic model (VSD+) and increased number of sites;

Ensure harmonization of data compatibility, processes and synergies between the NFCs and experts working with the EU Habitat Directive;


Workplan for 2010/2011 (2/2) Development and implementation of modelling and mapping

methodologies in ex post integrated assessment modelling in support to Gothenburg protocol revision

Using the update of empirical critical loads and levels and dose-response functions in scenario assessments of regional changes of plant species diversity;

The twenty-seventh meeting of the Programme Task Force and the twenty-first CCE workshop, to be held from 18 to 22 April 2011 in Bilthoven, the Netherlands.

Draft BL scen.spring 2010 All ecosystems

N CLd exceedances (all ecosystems)


Impacts of nitrogen on terrestrial ecosystems

Significant changes of plants species Exceedances of empirical critical loads Target loads, damage delay time, recovery delay time N CLd exceedances on Natura 2000 sites

Likelihood of expected impacts


Biodiversity changes are drivenBy air pollution including N inputs By climate changeBy land use change

Biodiversity, N and others

For discussion: Environmental target setting in support of Gothenborg protocol should: not aim at restoration to initial conditions aim at sustainable structures and functions of ecosystems
