Trace Gas Exchange in Forest Ecosystems

Part of the book series: Tree Physiology ((TREE,volume 3))

  • 236 Accesses

Abstract

Atmospheric deposition of nitrogen and sulfur compounds to terrestrial ecosystems has increased significantly over the last several decades due to the emissions of reactive trace gases associated with human activity. Whereas the stable, long-lived greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) operate on a global scale, the effects of reactive, short-lived gases such as nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (NO and NO2, combined as NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ammonia (NH3) are primarily regional. In the troposphere, SO2, NOx, and NH3 combine with water and other atmospheric constituents and can enter into ecosystems as acids and particulates within a few to thousands of kilometers from their source.
