Search for Habitat Impacts

APIS provides pollution impact records for a variety of habitats, ecosystems and species. Each record contains information on key impacts including any critical loads or levels and a full reference list.This page provides records for the 'APIS habitats' for the main pollutants of concern namely:

  • nitrogen deposition,
  • acid deposition
  • ammonia (NH3),
  • sulphur dioxide (SO2)

    To help you with choose and match a habitat of interest please refer to the habitat table which relate the habitats and ecosystems used in APIS to UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) habitats (broad and priority), the Habitats Directive (Annex 1 habitats occurring in the UK) and EUNIS classifications.

    Select a 'Pollutant' or a 'Habitat' to view records for your combination. Then click on the appropriate record link to view the full record. Note: not all habitats have a corresponding pollutant record.
