| Zusammenfassung |
| Since 2005 the Measuring Ammonia in Nature (MAN) network monitors
atmospheric ammonia concentrations in nature reserve areas in the
Netherlands (http://man.rivm.nl). The main aim of the network is to monitor
national trends, to assess regional deviations and to validate model
calculations. Measurements are performed with commercial passive samplers,
calibrated monthly against ammonia measurements of active sampling devices.
The sampling is performed by an extensive group of local volunteers, which
minimizes the cost and enables the use of local knowledge. We show the MAN
network to be well capable of monitoring trends on national and local scales
and providing data for more detailed local analyses. The quality of
the network is such that trends over time for individual MAN areas can be
detected on the order of 3 % per year for time series of 6–9
years. |
