General comments	It is recommended that litterfall as a minimum is assessed on 10% of the Level II plots and preferably on those plots where intensive monitoring of meteorology, deposition, soil solution, and phenology are also performed (?key plots?). EEA maintains a biodiversity information system at http://eunis.eea.eu.int/ that provides information on species, habitats and sites in the context of European legislation.
