Description

Atmospheric deposition can have harmful effect on the ecosystems. Forecast statistical models were based on long-term monitoring data of chemical composition measured in France. Using climate and pollutant emissions simulations, the projected changes in chemical composition of atmospheric deposition were analyzed for the period 2020-2040: sulfate and ammonium deposition fluxes are likely to decrease but nitrate deposition fluxes might increase with some regional discrepancies. Projected changes in precipitation seasonal variations are likely to drive an increase in deposition fluxes. (authors)
