| Zusammenfassung |
| Long-term human interactions with the natural landscape have produced a plethora
of trends and patterns of environmental disturbances across time and space.
Nitrogen deposition, closely tracking energy and land use, is known to be
among the main drivers of pollution, affecting both freshwater and terrestrial
ecosystems. We present a statistical approach for investigating the historical
and geographical distribution of nitrogen deposition and the impacts of
accumulation on recent soil carbon-to-nitrogen ratios in Europe. After the
second Industrial Revolution, large
swaths of land emerged characterized by different atmospheric deposition patterns caused by
industrial activities or intensive agriculture. Nitrogen
deposition affects soil C : N ratios in a still recognizable way
despite the abatement of oxidized and reduced nitrogen emissions during the
last 2 decades. Given a seemingly disparate land-use history, we focused
on ~ 10 000 unmanaged ecosystems, providing statistical
evidence for a rapid response of nature to the chronic nitrogen supply
through
atmospheric deposition. |
