Nitrogen deposition on forests and open land in regions with different livestock densities

摘要

In the last years, a lot of experiments and investigations has been carried out on ammonia emissions from animal buildings, slurry stores and after slurry application. There is only few information available on the fate of the gaseous nitrogen after emission. Measurements of nitrogen deposition rates in three regions of North West Germany, which differ in livestock density (high, middle, low), are being carried out since two years.
