European nature sensitive to deposition of nitrogen compounds
By 2010, nitrogen deposition will put the sustainability of about 70% of nature in the EU27 at risk. This was calculated by the Coordination Centre for Effects (CCE), using the new European critical loads database. This database provides scientific support for revising European air pollution abatement policies. The CCE Status Report 2008 also tentatively describes nitrogen effects on species diversity and ecosystem functions.
