| Zusammenfassung |
| Measurements of total nitrogen and inorganic nitrogen in precipitation samples from
NitroEurope sites across Europe permit the calculation of organic nitrogen concentrations and
wet deposition, by difference. The contribution of organic N to total N in precipitation ranged
from only a few % to around 40% across 18 sites from northern Finland to Italy, similar to
results from previous individual studies. This paper presents the absolute and relative
contributions of organic N to wet N deposition across Europe, and examines seasonal trends.
There were only weak correlations with other solutes in precipitation. These simple statistics
indicate that sources of organic N in precipitation vary across Europe, and that no single
source is responsible. The organic N contributes to total N deposition, yet this input is rarely
quantified in nitrogen budgets. |
