Atmospheric deposition and ozone levels in Swiss forests: are critical values exceeded?
Air pollution affects forest health through atmospheric deposition of acidic and nitrogen compounds and elevated levels of tropospheric ozone (O3). In 1985, a monitoring network was established across Europe and various research efforts have since been undertaken to define critical values. We measured atmospheric deposition of acidity and nitrogen as well as ambient levels of O3 on 12, 13, and ...

متن کاملLichen-based critical loads for atmospheric nitrogen deposition in Western Oregon and Washington Forests, USA.
Critical loads (CLs) define maximum atmospheric deposition levels apparently preventative of ecosystem harm. We present first nitrogen CLs for northwestern North America's maritime forests. Using multiple linear regression, we related epiphytic-macrolichen community composition to: 1) wet deposition from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, 2) wet, dry, and total N deposition from the C...
متن کاملWhat values are critical?
Chemistry and hematology laboratories long ago developed policies and procedures for so-called " critical values. " These policies ensured timely verbal communications for pre-defined test results understood to reflect life-threatening therapeutically remediable conditions. The critical values concept has penetrated anatomic pathology but only in specific limited settings, usually when an abnor...
متن کاملThe Effects of Nitrogen Deposition, Ambient Ozone, and Climate Change on Forests in the Western U.S
Nitrogen (N) deposition in the western United States is most severe near major urban areas or downwind of agricultural regions, particularly in areas where confined animal feeding operations such as dairies or feedlots are located. Nitrogen saturated ecosystems are predominantly found in hotspots located within 60 km of urban or agricultural emissions source areas, where N deposition inputs are...
