Risk assessment in Mediterranean region
Major scientific concerns
5th EMEP/WGE Joint session, 2019
Risk assessment methodologies within the Air Convention should
represent adequately Mediterranean
ecosystems and crops:
1. Sensitivity of Mediterranean ecosystems,
species and cultivars (CLO3 and CLN)
2. Deposition of pollutants
(POD and N deposition)
3. Mediterranean climate (drought, climate change context)
Risk assessment - Tropospheric ozone

Modelling soil moisture effect on POD
GOAL: Improving O3 dose modelling in water-limited areas of Europe
Soil moisture collaborative exercise – ICP-Veg + EMEP MSC-W
O3 risk assessment based on the phytotoxic ozone dose (PODy)
Workplan item 1.4.2
Model DO3SE (Deposition of Ozone and Stomatal Exchange)
Risk assessment - Tropospheric ozone
Participants: ICP Vegetation – ICP Forest – EMEP MSC-W Collaboration of experts from Spain (leading), Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and UK
Coverage: Long-term field data on soil moisture fromWater-limited areas: Italy and SpainParallel exercises: Switzerland and Sweden
Stages:1 Soil moisture estimation
1.1 Evaluation of modeled SMI1.2 Sensitivity analysis
2 Parametrization of fSWC
3 Mapping PODy

Risk assessment - N deposition
Dry deposition importance in low-precipitation areas
Up to 65% in Eastern-Spain pine forests (Sanz et al., 2002)56-81% of in Quercus ilex forests (Àvila et al., 2017; García-Gómez et al., 2018)
Dry deposition and seasonality
First rains of autumn → ephemeral inputs of N into the soil coming from the dry deposition accumulated over the summer → lixiviation of N (García-Gómez et al., 2016)
Modelled dry deposition
Potential infra-estimation; lack of esclerophylous evergreen vegetation

Closer collaboration with EMEP experts?
Uncertainty on dry deposition modelling and field estimation
Uncertainty on how seasonality can affect modellled CLeutN calculations (SMB)
Risk assessment - N deposition
5th EMEP/WGE Joint session, 2019
Lack of data from N addition studies and/or gradientstudies on major habitat types of the Mediterraneanregion.
+Uncertainty in empirical empirical CL (CLemp) for Mediterranean habitats
CIEMAT group is starting contacts with different research groups to collect relevant information for CLemp.
