information.png Methodology:

Results of classification of Eutrophication Status using the HEAT+ tool. Eutrophication status is evaluated in five classes:

  • NPAhigh and NPAgood are recognised as ‘non-problem areas’ 
  • PAmoderate, PApoor and PAbad are recognised as ‘problem areas’

The results are shown for 3 aspects of eutrophication:

  • C1) Nutrient Concentrations
  • C2) Direct Effects
  • C3) Indirect Effects 

All results are summed up here:

  • HEAT+) the overall Eutrophication status
