IC manual: what and why Presented by Sandra Poikane Joint Research Centre Institute for Environment and Sustainability
Instruction manual Most of Intercalibration results - finalised many MS have not intercalibrated the methods : Not developed in time other reasons: different pressure/ habitat/ concept
Instruction manual a workflow to fit new or revised methods to the harmonised definition of good ecological status established in the finalised IC IC results Revised method New method
Key documents IC Guidance IC technical report IC manual - intercalibration aims, methods and criteria. - all necessary steps of the intercalibration process. IC technical report - approaches and outcomes of the respective intercalibration exercise IC manual - procedure to use for intercalibrating new /revised classification methods.
MS national dataset the complete ecological quality gradient ranging from high to poor contain non-biological (environmental) and biological data to conduct pressure-impact analyses
