Dynamic modelling of target loads of acidifying deposition for forest ecosystems in Flanders (Belgium)

Dynamic modelling of target loads of acidifying deposition for forest ecosystems in Flanders (Belgium)

The aim of this study was to determine target loads for acidification for representative forest ecosystems in Flanders (Belgium) using dynamic modelling. Target loads were calculated for 83 forest stands for which sufficient measurements were available. This dataset is considered to be representativ...
