Abstract:
... To assess the source characteristics of coastal aerosols and evaluate the contribution of atmospheric deposition to particulate organic matter in surface seawater, total suspended particulates (TSP) were collected at a shore-based site on the south coast of North Yellow Sea from December 2019 through November 2020. The samples were analyzed for total organic carbon (TOC) and nitrogen (TN) as well ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen (N) is often the key nutrient limiting primary production in coastal waters. Quantifying sources and sinks of N is therefore critical to understanding the factors that underpin the productivity of coastal ecosystems. Constraining nitrogen inputs can be difficult for some terms such as N fixation and marine exchange as a consequence of uncertainties associated with scaling and stochasticit ...

To date, data on the sources of atmospheric MP and deposition to river catchment areas are still sparse. We, therefore, took aerosol and total atmospheric deposition samples in the catchment area of the lar ...

Abstract:
... Bogs are ombrotrophic, relying solely on atmospheric deposition for new inputs of elements. Increased element deposition through anthropogenic activities has the potential to alter nutrient availability, and hence ecosystem function, in bogs. Further, because of efficient element retention, bogs may function as effective monitors of element deposition. To assess the potential effects of particulat ...
