Effects of Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Southern Wyoming: A Synthesis and Critical Assessment of Published Results;Water-resources investigations rept

摘要

This report provides a synthesis and critical assessment of published results on the effects of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and southern Wyoming. The report includes levels and trends in wet and dry atmospheric deposition of nitrogen, stream and lake nitrogen chemistry, subsurface nitrogen-cycling processes, and effects on terrestrial vegetation, aquatic biota, and amphibians.
