Vegetation Response Models and Regional Critical Loads of Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition

Here we've developed the PROPS model for application to the U.S. to model the vulnerability of U.S. plant communities to atmospheric deposition of nitrogen and sulfur. This presentation summarizes the latest improvements and an application to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Impact/Purpose

The purpose of this presentation is to show the latest scientific advancements to modeling critical load responses in the U.S. for the Fall Science Meeting of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP)
