DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2019.05.005
Abstract: Abstract Increased atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is driving nutrient imbalances, soil acidification, biodiversity losses and the long-term reduction in stability of sensitive ecosystems which previously had limited N. In this study, we analysed the concentrations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2020.117478
Abstract: Abstract Empirical critical loads are widely used to quantify and manage the ecological impacts of reactive nitrogen (N) deposition. Critical load values aim to identify a level of N deposition below which significant harmful effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118187
Abstract: Critical loads are thresholds of atmospheric deposition below which harmful ecological effects do not occur. Because lichens are sensitive to atmospheric deposition, lichen-based critical loads can foreshadow changes of other forest processes. Here, we derive… read more here.
