Ecotope vulnerability maps for Flanders version 2 - 2023

Based on the abiotic site requirements of the ecotopes, for each ecotope a sensitivity is linked to environmental pressures of desiccation, eutrophication and acidification. This results in a degree of vulnerability for these impact groups. Ecotopes that are very sensitive to a certain environmental pressure and are also very biologically valuable are very vulnerable. Through the link with the Biological Valuation Map, the vulnerability of ecotopes to the three environmental pressures is spatially situated. The method is therefore suitable for the environmental assessment of location alternatives.基于生态生境单元（ecotope）的非生物立地需求，我们为每个生态生境单元关联其针对干旱化、富营养化与酸化三类环境压力的敏感性水平，由此可得到对应上述三类影响类别的脆弱性等级。对某类环境压力敏感性极高且自身生物价值突出的生态生境单元，其脆弱性程度也相应极高。通过与生物价值评估图（Biological Valuation Map）的关联，可明确生态生境单元针对三类环境压力的脆弱性的空间分布。因此，该方法适用于选址备选方案的环境评估。
