The values of the condition variables present the yearly arithmetic average for the respective ecosystem, if not definied differently by the measurement unit. 1: According to 39. BimSchV AOT (Accumulated Ozone Exposure) 40 is the sum of differences between ozone values above 80 micrograms per cubic metre over a specific period, based on hourly concentrations between 8 an 20 CET. 2: Values are based on data sources that are recorded over long time periods. Changes over time presented here therefore reflect change due to ecosystem extent conversions rather than changes in the data source of the condition variable. . = Numerical value unknown or not to be disclosed. | |||||
