41 Deposition footprint Of reduced and oxidized Nitrogen emissions from the UK NHx NOy (zone in which 65% of emission occurs)
42 Reduced nitrogen - summary Reduced N mainly as NH 3 is primarily an agricultural pollutant A short atmospheric lifetime as NH 3 leads to large spatial variability in concentration and deposition Reduced N dominates the N deposition budget in N Europe, and for semi-natural vegetation Effects of deposited N on species composition are mainly due to reduced N
43 Global nitrogen - summary The global cycle of fixed N is dominated (70%) by emissions of oxidized and reduced N from human activities. Oxidized N, as NO x is an ozone precursor gas and contributes to eutrophication, greenhouse gas emission and is a majo constituent of aerosols. Reduced N as NH x is the main contributor to eutrophication, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and is a major component of aerosols over Europe.
