Whole Ecosystem Nitrogen Manipulation: An Updated Review 2002

Abstract

This document reviews research undertaken in the UK and across Europe involving nitrogen manipulation experiments in natural and semi-natural ecosystems, updating an original review report from 1997.

The experiments are essential to demonstrate and to improve our understanding of the ecological effects of nitrogen deposition, arising from the air pollutants nitrogen oxides and ammonia. Since the initial review, two major pieces of work – the Countryside Survey 2000, and the New Plant Atlas of British and Irish Flora (2002) – have revealed growing evidence that nitrogen deposition is contributing to a range of ecological changes in semi-natural habitats across the UK.
