Abstract

Reinds, G.J. 2009. Air pollution impacts on European forest soils: Steady‐state and dynamic modelling. Thesis, Wageningen University and Research Centre, 223 pp. This thesis describes the development, calibration, uncertainty analysis and application of a dynamic model for soil acidification, in combination with the use of comprehensive European environmental data sets. The model (VSD) was developed as a dynamic extension of the steady‐state Simple Mass Balance (SMB) model that has been widely used to compute critical loads for Europe for sulphur (S) and nitrogen (N), i.e. depositions that do not cause harmful effects on ecosystems in the long‐term. The VSD model was calibrated on 122 intensively monitored forest sites in Europe, using Bayesian calibration. Soil solution measurements were used to determine how well the model was able to reproduce field observations. The calibration improved the accuracy of the model when model results were compared with soil and soil solution measurements at 60 validation plots.
