The Level II network is a valuable platform for atmospheric pollution research, and related environmental and biological projects.

The Centre for Forestry and Climate Change of Forest Research is engaged in a range of central and supporting studies of forest ecosystem functioning using Level II data.

Some examples of studies involving the use of Level II data are cited below.
