The purpose of UK APIENs (Air Pollution Impacts on Ecosystem Networks) is to monitor and report the negative impacts of air pollution (e.g. acidification, eutrophication, ozone damage or changes in biodiversity) on ecosystems that are representative of freshwater, natural and semi-natural habitats and forests in the UK. It was formed in 2018 by integrating UK national air quality and ecosystem monitoring networks and surveys to meet UK govenment monitoring and reporting obligations. Integrated data from APIENs will provide the evidence to determine the state of, and provide baseline against which any changes and potential recovery in ecosystem response to emissions reductions.
In this webinar series on UK APIENs, we invite you to join us in examining and discussing the pressures and indicators for monitoring air pollution impacts on ecosystems in the UK. Presentations will be given by staff at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, including by Don Monteith, ECN's Coordinator.
This is the third webinar in the three part series.
