Abstract
In order to obtain an unbiased estimate of the overall effect of point polluters on terrestrial biota, we needed to explore a random sample from the entire population of polluters. Unfortunately, this task is hardly feasible, keeping in mind obvious financial and time constraints. Therefore we selected a representative sample of point polluters according to the following basic criteria: The explored polluters should represent the entire range of pollution loads, from highest to reasonably low. Basic types of polluters (identified in earlier meta-analyses; Ruotsalainen & Kozlov 2006; Zvereva et al. 2008) should be included. Impact zones should represent the basic vegetation types of the northern and temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere.
