Ecological limits (Critical Loads) and their exceedances in Saxony

Mapping of environmental loads and their exceedances for the current situation and depending on climate projection scenarios Regionalised Critical Load Overruns were analysed on the basis of the 2006 deposit rates. Content of the project file: — Release rate of plant-available basic cations by weathering — Critical leaching rate of acid neutralisation capacity with leachate — Nitrogen immobilisation rate — Tolerable nitrogen discharge rate with leachate — Nitrogen denitrification rate — Regional distribution of critical loads for acid inputs — Regional distribution of critical loads for eutrophic nitrogen inputs -Exceeding critical load limits by acid inputs in 2006 -Exceeding critical load limits due to eutrophic nitrogen inputs in 2006
