Challenges characterizing N deposition to high elevation protected areas: A case study integrating instrument, simulated, and lichen inventory datasets for the Devils Postpile National Monument and surrounding region, USA

Excess N deposition is a common stressor of ecological health. Sensitive biota, including many lichens, respond to small differences in atmospheric N deposition. For lands with a conservation mandate, obtaining sufficient N data to evaluate risks is a challenge, especially in Mediterranean or arid l...
