Tracing pollution sources and pollution deposition hotspots with nitrogen isotopes
Hoffman A and Williams D. Tracing pollution sources and pollution deposition hotspots with nitrogen isotopes. Research Permit and Reporting System
Increased anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition can lead to N saturation of ecosystems, altering water quality, biogeochemical cycling and biodiversity. Although some N deposition (Ndep) is natural, there has been an increase of Ndep in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), largely due to local and regional intensification of agricultural activity, which releases ammonia (NHx), and transportation and industrial processes, which release nitrogen oxides (NOx). Wildfires and soil emissions like
