Pollution-related stress factors for forest ecosystems - Synopsis.

Environ. Sci. Pollut. Res. SI 1, 2-15 (1998)

This publication describes the forest situation with particular consideration regarding air pollutants. The results were elaborated in the course of the project "Ecosystematic Studies in the Limestone Alps - Achenkirch Altitude Profiles", in an intensively studied Alpine research area as well as in other Austrian and Bavarian investigation areas focusing on the phenomenon of novel forest decline. The contributions include results from the Austria-wide monitoring activities. Pollutant concentrations and pollutant depositions (SO,; NO.; O-3; H, S, and N inputs; organic air pollutants; heavy metals) were evaluated using effect-related limiting values. Where such limiting values were not available, either reference values from expert literature were applied or new classification schemes were devised. Evidence of air-pollution impacts was furnished by means of bioindication methods and limiting values and concentration ranges were used for classification. Biochemical and physiological methods were applied to tree-condition surveys and early stress determination; results were evaluated using cluster analyses. Models were developed for the assessment of potential risks pollutant depositions might cause to forest areas.
