Dry deposition of nitrogen to passive samplers in grassland and forest canopies in the Central depression of southern Chile
The growth of intensive livestock farming in the central depression of southern Chile (40° S) during the last century has resulted in elevated emissions of inorganic nitrogen (N) compounds into the atmosphere, particularly of NH3. Consequently, atmospheric N has been deposited to lakes, vegetation,...

The growth of intensive livestock farming in the central depression of southern Chile (40° S) during the last century has resulted in elevated emissions of inorganic nitrogen (N) compounds into the atmosphere, particularly of NH3. Consequently, atmospheric N has been deposited to lakes, vegetation, and soil. Much attention has been paid to wet N deposition in southern Chile, while almost nothing is known about dry N deposition in this region. Our aim is to use an exploratory approach with SAM (Standard Air Monitoring) filters to investigate the potential contribution of the dry N deposition to the total N deposition in the central depression of southern Chile. Furthermore, the relationship between micro-climatological patterns and dry deposition was studied, and dry deposition to passive samplers in grasslands was compared to the deposition to samplers in two forest canopies. Wet and dry deposition of N were measured during one year and six months, respectively, in a grassland area, a Nothofagus obliqua (Mirb.) Oerst. forest and a Pinus radiata D.
