Journal Article
Impact of Nitrogen Deposition on the Species Richness of Grasslands
2004
Overview
A transect of 68 acid grasslands across Great Britain, covering the lower range of ambient annual nitrogen deposition in the industrialized world (5 to$35 kg N ha^{-1} year^{-1}$), indicates that long-term, chronic nitrogen deposition has significantly reduced plant species richness. Species richness declines as a linear function of the rate of inorganic nitrogen deposition, with a reduction of one species per 4-m2quadrat for every$2.5 kg N ha^{-1} year^{-1}$of chronic nitrogen deposition. Species adapted to infertile conditions are systematically reduced at high nitrogen deposition. At the mean chronic nitrogen deposition rate of central Europe ($17 kg N ha^{-1} year^{-1}$), there is a 23% species reduction compared with grasslands receiving the lowest levels of nitrogen deposition.
