Methodology:
The msPAF has been derived from modelling the cumulative impact of individual substances, aggregated according to their specific modes of action. For the purposes of these analyses it has been aggregated on ECRINS FEC.
To quantify the effects of pesticides on the freshwater ecosystems, the chronic multi-substance Potentially Affected Fraction (msPAF) of aquatic species can be used as a proxy for pesticides pressure intensity. The msPAF specifies the potential share of the biological community affected by pesticide toxicity. The layer shows 99th percentile of msPAF is visualized in five classes:
<=0.05,
0.05-0.20,
0.20-0.45,
0.45-0.80,
>0.80"-
