Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition relative to the natural processes and natural character of Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) has become better understood over time, as scientific research and monitoring that began in the early 1980's have documented various changes to ecosystems in the park. These changes include forest and soil biogeochemical changes, enhanced microbial activity in soils, increased N in lakes and streams, changes in surface water chemistry, altered tree chemistry, and shifts in species of aquatic plants. The park's unique resources will continue to be harmed if N deposition remains constant or increases. In 2004 a multi-agency meeting including the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), the National Park Service (NPS), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was held to address the effects and trends of N deposition in RMNP, and related air quality issues including elevated ozone concentrations and visibility impairment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N) compounds are essential nutrients for life. In excess, however, S and N can be toxic, even life threatening, and in national parks excess N and S can upset the delicate balances in natural ecosystems. N and S species can cause rain and snowfall to be acidic, and particulate sulfate (SO42-) and nitrate (NO3-) can cause significant visibility impairment and adversely affect human health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of air pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere from human-caused and natural emissions sources throughout the United States and elsewhere. These contaminants impact sensitive natural resources in wilderness, including the national parks. The system of national parks in the United States is among our greatest assets. This book provides a compilation and synthesis of current scientific understanding regarding the causes and effects of these pollutants within national park lands. It describes pollutant emissions, deposition, and exposures; it identifies the critical (tipping point) loads of pollutant deposition at which adverse impacts are manifested.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program’s National Trends Network, the United States Geological Survey’s Rocky Mountain Regional Snowpack Chemistry Program and the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Markets Program were analyzed to identify spatial relationships amongst atmospheric wet deposition concentrations of nitrate and sulfate. The analysis relates atmospheric wet deposition, commonly known as acid rain, to two distinct variables—as a function of elevation and also as a function of proximity to major regional electricity generating stations. This study focuses on the Southern Rocky Mountain region of the United States, and integrates depositional and emissions point-source data from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Previous studies have identified wide-ranging adverse effects upon terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems such as nitrogen saturation, changes in plant biodiversity, and soil nutrient cycling where atmospheric wet deposition is the suspected primary means of pollutant transport and delivery. Atmospheric wet deposition then possess the ability to, in a broad sense, impair the United States’ agricultural, economic, and public health sectors; as a result, the United States Congress, beginning in the 1970’s had legislated a number of acts and amendments funding research focused on studying and attenuating airborne pollution. However, the spatiotemporal geography of atmospheric wet deposition has been understudied and limited in scope, especially across the Western United States’ high elevation lifezones. As a result, it is currently difficult to assess how the depositions of nitrate and sulfate will respond spatially or temporally as a function of emissions outputs of nitrous and sulfurous oxides from major regional electricity generating facilities. This research builds upon the existing geographic knowledge of atmospheric wet deposition by combining precipitation, snowpack, and emission datasets to analyze specific spatial relationships. The study concludes that levels of atmospheric wet deposition concentrations do in fact show trend changes in relation to elevation; it also finds that atmospheric wet deposition concentrations show relationships that strengthen with increased proximity to regional electricity generating stations. The significance of this research is that the spatial distribution of atmospheric wet deposition is discernible, and with improved application and design, likely capable of forecasting the phenomenon.
