Exceedances of critical loads for eutrophication due to the deposition of nutrient nitrogen in 2000 and 2010

Topics: Air pollution ,

How to read the map: for Norway, exceedances of the critical load for nutrient nitrogen are in general not a major problem. Size of grid-cell: 50 km x 50 km.

Additional information

Exceedances can only be found in southern Norway. For the Northern part of Belgium, the critical load for nutrient nitrogen is exceeded by more than 800 equivalents nitrogen per hectare and year (nitrogen is the sum of airborne nitrate-N and ammonium-N deposited).
