Assessment of eutrophication status in European seas using HEAT+, May 2019

The dataset presents the results of classification of eutrophication status of the European seas using the HEAT+ tool. Eutrophication status is evaluated in five classes, where NPAhigh and NPAgood are recognised as ‘non-problem areas’ and PAmoderate, PApoor and PAbad are recognised as ‘problem areas’.

Besides the overall Eutrophication status (HEAT+) are the results shown for three aspects of eutrophication:

C1) Nutrient Concentrations

C2) Direct Effects

C3) Indirect Effects

This dataset underpins the findings and cartographic representations published in the report "Nutrient enrichment and eutrophication in Europe's seas" (EEA, 2019): https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/nutrient-enrichment-and-eutrophication-in.

Explanation: See the referenced specification

Statement: Results of classification of Eutrophication Status using the HEAT+ tool. Eutrophication status is evaluated in five classes:

NPAhigh and NPAgood are recognised as ‘non-problem areas’

PAmoderate, PApoor and PAbad are recognised as ‘problem areas’

The results are shown for 3 aspects of eutrophication:

C1) Nutrient Concentrations

C2) Direct Effects

C3) Indirect Effects

All results are summed up in the layer HEAT+) the overall Eutrophication status
