Predicted P concentrations are linked to ecosystem damage using database correlating P concentrations with macro fauna species diversity in Dutch ecosystems.Struijs et al.

(2008)3Methods and characterization factors are well documented and accessible for use. Models and input data not easily accessible. High environmental relevance of the midpoint model, which considers of removal processes and different emission sources. The damage model, based on empirical data (Netherlands), is considered the most relevant and scientifically sound compared to others. Overall: method recommended for endpoint characteization, though the factors are considered interim. Models potentially adaptable to generate characterization factors for other continents if complemented by appropriate fate and effect models.Consortium for defining the recommended Life Cycle Impact Assessment framework, methods and factors Review report on recommended LCIA methodsMinistry of Housing, Spatial Planning and Environment (VROM)LCIA method original development within the ReCiPe project (see www.lcia-recipe.net/) .
