Provision of Air Pollution Removal by Vegetation and Pollination Service Development

About

Office for National Statistics awarded a contract to UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology for updating calculations and refining methodology on air pollution removal by vegetation and developing pollination services.

The work includes updating air pollution removal calculations for a more recent year, incorporating relevant methodology updates, and developing a robust way to extrapolate from model outputs to interpolate between years and extrapolate in the short-term for future years.

For pollination, the contract involves adapting existing modelling work to enable annual monitoring and habitat change data inclusion.

The outputs and methods could be used by UK, devolved and local governments in policy appraisal, presented at high resolution for national and local pictures.

The contract value is AUD 98,079.
