摘要: In this study, we applied a process-based forest ecosystem model, PnET-CN, to estimate inorganic N (nitrate) loading and retention under chronic increases of atmospheric deposition in the Chesapeake Bay (CPB) watershed. The results indicated that average leaching loss from forested lands CPB watershed is 1.23 kg ha−1 y−1 at current levels, suggesting approximately 88% retained by ecosystems. Total dissolved exported watersheds was 11,617 Mg yr−1. predicted rates nitrate losses are well validated United States Geological Survey–National Water-Quality Assessment data measured gauged stations for drainages within watershed, also compatible with field loads associated forests If were twice would drop 81%. surface waters then increase more than threefold. A nonlinear extreme scenario shows symptom saturation an accelerated decline functioning retain rising levels nitrogen deposition.
