Excess nitrogen (N) deposition has two effects on ecosystems, eutriphication and acidification. Previous research has shown the occurrence of nitrigen saturation at high elevations of the Colorado Front Range. For this project the authors asked when and at what levels of atmospheric N deposition did eutrophication occur in the past, and when and at what levels of atmospheric N deposition did eutrophication occur in the past, and when and at what levels of atmospheric N deposition will acidification occur in the future under current and potential rates of deposition.
