New Perspectives on the Exchange of Reduced Nitrogen Between the Atmosphere, Land, and Water from Remote Sensing, in situ Measurements, and Modeling Approaches
New Perspectives on the Exchange of Reduced Nitrogen Between the Atmosphere, Land, and Water from Remote Sensing, in situ Measurements, and Modeling Approaches
Session ID#: 249474
Session Description:
Reduced nitrogen (ammonia + ammonium) is a vital component of the global nitrogen cycle, with its production and use by humans having important implications for environmental sustainability. Sources of reduced nitrogen are diverse, including anthropogenic activities (e.g. livestock waste, fertilizer) and natural processes (e.g. wildfires). Reduced nitrogen behaves dynamically in the environment, partitioning between different phases and reservoirs. Although an important input to agricultural systems and a critical nutrient source in natural systems, reduced nitrogen can also pollute the air and water. In excess, reduced nitrogen can drive significant ecological changes in aquatic ecosystems, including eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, and disruption of aquatic food webs. This session draws together perspectives on reduced nitrogen from both empirical and modeling perspectives. We welcome submissions using remote sensing and in situ measurements from recent field campaigns, as well as contributions leveraging models to span complexity and spatiotemporal scales.
