Descrizione:

The main objective of the LIFE MODERn (NEC) project is to comply with the NEC Directive and enhance the representativeness of sites and indicators, thus improving the Italian NEC network. In particular, the project aims to: Establish national emissions ceilings of certain atmospheric pollutants, linking them to the impacts on ecosystems; Expand the network of monitoring sites so that it is fully representative of the variety of Italian freshwater and forest ecosystems; Introduce and test a new set of indicators and develop new monitoring protocols to study the impacts of air pollution on biodiversity (plant functional groups, lichens, selected groups of fauna, and selected biological indicators in water bodies) and air pollution chemistry and transparency; Measure pollutant effects in remote areas that can provide the full background level for comparison with health-related impacts in urban areas; Assess mass balances of the major nutrient and pollutant flows through the atmosphere-forest-soil-water system, to quantify the long-term trends of the most relevant impacts; Distinguish between impacts resulting from pollutant emissions and those related to other drivers (climate change, management, land-use) by applying a multivariate statistical approach on NEC Directive target pollutants and on data collected during the 20-year environmental monitoring at ICP Forests and ICP Waters sites in Italy; Improve the awareness of experts in the Italian and European NEC network by promoting internet data dissemination through the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) Data Principles and the development of specific software; Raise awareness among the Italian public about pollution sources and their impacts on ecosystems, including by promoting the NEC network; and Increase knowledge exchange between EU Member States involved in implementation of the NEC Directive to discuss and promote common strategies and solutions.
