Air Pollution Damage
- The extent of increment losses due to the impact of air pollution at the
local or regional level is assessed on the basis of dendrochronological studies
and findings from air pollution research. These studies are to support claims
for damage or expert advice in the case of litigation.
(T/5/1).
- A case study in the area of Arnoldstein aims at studying the evolution of
plantations with Norway spruce and other tree species under the influence of
regionally differing air pollution situations. Due to the strong reduction of
emissions is is now possible to study the ability of forest ecosystems to
respond to and to recover after stress reduction.
