Quantifying atmospheric nitrogen deposition through a nationwide monitoring network across China
A Nationwide Nitrogen Deposition Monitoring Network (NNDMN) containing 43 monitoring sites was established in China to measure gaseous NH<sub>3</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, and HNO<sub>3</sub> and particulate NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> and NO<...

| description | A Nationwide Nitrogen Deposition Monitoring Network (NNDMN)
containing 43 monitoring sites was established in China to measure
gaseous NH<sub>3</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, and HNO<sub>3</sub> and particulate NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> and
NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> in air and/or precipitation from 2010 to 2014. Wet/bulk
deposition fluxes of N<sub>r</sub> species were collected by precipitation
gauge method and measured by continuous-flow analyzer; dry deposition fluxes
were estimated using airborne concentration measurements and inferential
models. Our observations reveal large spatial variations of atmospheric
N<sub>r</sub> concentrations and dry and wet/bulk N<sub>r</sub> deposition. On
a national basis, the annual average concentrations
(1.3–47.0 μg N m<sup>−3</sup>) and dry plus wet/bulk deposition fluxes
(2.9–83.3 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup>) of inorganic N<sub>r</sub> species
are ranked by land use as urban > rural > background sites and by regions
as north China > southeast China > southwest China > northeast
China > northwest China > Tibetan Plateau, reflecting the impact of
anthropogenic N<sub>r</sub> emission. Average dry and wet/bulk N deposition
fluxes were 20.6 ± 11.2 (mean ± standard deviation) and
19.3 ± 9.2 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup> across China, with reduced N
deposition dominating both dry and wet/bulk deposition. Our results suggest
atmospheric dry N deposition is equally important to wet/bulk N deposition at
the national scale. Therefore, both deposition forms should be included when
considering the impacts of N deposition on environment and ecosystem health. |
