The general tendency we have seen is an increase in the deterioration of non-coniferous species such as oak and beech and intense defoliation owing to the seriousness of atmospheric pollution, essentially in Central Europe, which also increases the acidity of the soil.

Moreover, studies indicate that even significant air-pollution reduction starting at high levels will have only a minor impact.

In Western countries, environmental campaigners would focus on the downside – 300 million tons of additional CO? emissions in 2040, and higher outdoor air pollution from greater reliance on coal power – and ask why anyone would want to increase CO? and air pollution.
