A framework to estimate biodiversity loss and associated costs due to nitrogen emissions from single power plants
2019, Journal of Cleaner ProductionCitation Excerpt :The ‘health check’ carried out by the European Commission in 2006 indicated that about 80% of the habitat types are still under threat (Commission of the European Communities, 2009; Schoukens and Cliquet, 2016). In the context of the European Natura 2000 Network (Commission of the European Communities, 2009), habitat types have been classified in terms of their critical deposition loads (CDL) (Kuylenstierna et al., 1998; Sutton et al., 2014; Van Dobben et al., 2006; Vivanco et al., 2018). The CDL reflects “the limit above which there is a risk that the quality of the habitat will significantly be affected by atmospheric nitrogen deposition” (Van Dobben et al., 2006).
Nitrogen critical loads using biodiversity-related critical limits
2011, Environmental PollutionCitation Excerpt :In contrast, despite reductions in nitrogen (N) emissions (oxides by 41% and ammonia by 17%), there has been continuous widespread exceedance of nutrient N (Kuylenstierna et al., 1998; Hettelingh et al., 2007). Concern that chronic (elevated) reactive (oxidised and reduced) N deposition may result in long-term negative effects on natural ecosystems (e.g., acidification, eutrophication, loss of biodiversity), has prompted many international conferences (e.g., Grennfelt and Thörnelöf, 1992; Hornung et al., 1995; special issues Environmental Pollution 102:1, 1998; Ecological Applications 20:1, 2010). In recent years there has been a tendency to consider the basis of modelled N critical loads, i.e., the critical chemical limits (the violation of which leads to ‘harmful effects’), as insufficient for characterising adverse ecosystem effects, especially in efforts to link biodiversity to abiotic factors amenable to ‘management’, such as deposition.
