Air pollution and vegetation: ICP Vegetation annual report 2013/2014

The International Cooperative Programme on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural Vegetation and Crops (ICP Vegetation) was established in 1987. It is led by the UK and has its Programme Coordination Centre at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) in Bangor. It is one of seven ICPs and Task Forces that report to the Working Group on Effects (WGE) of the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP Convention) on the effects of atmospheric pollutants on different components of the environment (e.g. forests, fresh waters, materials) and health in Europe and North-America. In addition to this report, the ICP Vegetation Programme Coordination Centre has provided a technical report on ‘Effects of air pollution on natural vegetation and crops’ (ECE/EB.AIR/WG.1/ 2014/8) and on ‘Air pollution: Deposition to and impacts on vegetation in (South-) East Europe, Caucasus, Central and South-East Asia’ (ECE/EB.AIR/WG.1/2014/13). The latter was also published as a glossy report and translated into Russian. ICP Vegetation also contributed to the joint report (ECE/EB.AIR/WG.1/ 2014/3) of the WGE. The ICP Vegetation Programme Coordination Centre published a glossy brochure titled ‘Have you seen these ozone injury symptoms?’, containing images of ozone-induced leaf injury on vegetation.
