Plant species diversity indicators for use in the computation of critical loads and dynamic risk assessments

摘要: Soil models can be used to derive critical loads by computing the deposition that leads limits for abiotic conditions, i.e. conditions are just tolerated an ecosystem. In this chapter various approaches discussed assess these plant communities and species. Species diversity indicators have important role in many of such may based on species numbers, intrinsic values or desirability certain present locations. Such desired ‘target’ often derived from concepts regarding ‘pristine’ ‘natural’ state For a indicator similarity actual modelled has quantified, methods quantification discussed. Finally, step-by-step approach is arrive at using niche models, diversity.
