National Ecosystem Monitoring Network (NEMN)-Design: monitoring air pollution impacts across sensitive ecosystems.
Johnstown Castle, Ireland, Environmental Protection Agency, 94pp.
Under the EC National Emissions Ceiling Directive (NECD 2016/2284), EU member states are
required to monitor (Article 9) and report (Article 10.4) air pollution pressure and impacts on
ecosystems that are representative of each country’s freshwater, forest, natural and semi-natural
habitats. Ireland developed the National Ecosystem Monitoring Network (NEMN) in 2018, with the
first data submission on 1st July 2019. In this document, are proposed methods for monitoring air quality and
ecosystem parameters, and for selecting sites to be included in NEMN to improve representative
coverage across sensitive habitat types and major pollution gradients.
