Atmospheric input of elements to forest ecosystems of the Kampinoski National Park
2012
Kram, K.J.
This study was carried out in the Kampinoski National Park in central Poland during the 1998 and 2000 vegetative seasons of April to October. Standard rain collectors were used and traps equipped with artificial foliage of 2, 6 and 12 m2 m-2 surface area were employed to estimate aerosol-gaseous input. The input of most elements (N-NH4+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl-, N-NO3-, S-SO42-, P-PO43-, Cd2+ and Cu2+) was found to increase significantly with increased artificial foliage area., with only the H+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ ions deviating from this trend. This result confirmed that ecosystems with large foliage area receive a greater nutrient pool than those with a smaller area. However, due to similar increment in anionic and cationic input with the leaf area index (LAI), the proportions between anions and cations remained unchanged at different foliage areas.
