Biodiversity Modeling and Critical Loads Assessment in the USA

This presentation describes a series of projects to develop the modeling platform VSD+PROPS-CLF for use in the U.S. to analyze the effects from atmospheric deposition of N and S on terrestrial plant communities.

Impact/Purpose

This presentation is being given to the annual meeting of international researchers on the effects of atmospheric deposition, at the 36th Task Force Meeting for the International Cooperative Programme on Modelling and Mapping of Critical Levels & Loads and Air Pollution Effects, Risks and Trends (ICP M&M), April 21 –23, 2020, in Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. McDonnell is leading a project on this subject and is presenting recent findings.
