Summarize the published ecological impacts of atmospheric deposition on affected ecological
systems. Need a minimum of 200 words. Work must have citations and references, if you can't
provide it. Don't answer the question.
Solution
1- Here we discuss about the enhanced reactive nitrogen deposition is affecting a semi-natural
ecosystem which is comes from the plant tissue N concentration. we can correlate the
concentration of tissue N and recent days atmospheric N deposition, somewhat changes in plants,
Amino acid composition and effects on N assiliation.

2- A Air pollution can affect the ecological resources such as water quality, soils, plants and
animals and human being. we can take a example of Ozone. A ozone can effect on the plant
tissues. it can damage the tissues of plants it tends to reduction of growth of plants of some type
of plants. the national park service research studies on the ecological impact of atmospheric
deposition on affected ecological system. we know that nitrogen and sulphur which is present in
air by air pollution and it is travelled by rain, snowfall, and fog.
Nitrogen and sulphure are deposited from the air can effect on the plant and acidification soil,
acidification in lake.
metal like mercury and toxic compounds such as pesticides can be deposited from the
atmosphere and mixed in food chain.
