Unit: mol N equivalents

Description: European country-dependent. Accumulated Exceedance method (combination of models). The atmospheric transport and deposition model to land area is determined using the EMEP model combined with a European critical load database. Inclusion of depositions onto different land cover categories in the EMEP Eulerian atmospheric dispersion model. Critical load database containing about 1.2 million different ecosystems (e.g. forrests, semi-natural vegetation).
