Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition in Global Forests: Spatial Variation, Impacts, and Management Implications provides the most comprehensive knowledge on spatial variation and ecological impacts of reactive nitrogen deposition in global forests, as well as forest management options to mitigate the negative impacts. Written and edited by international experts in the field, this book synthesizes recent research developments and insights in monitoring and modeling nitrogen deposition in global forests. The book also assesses ecological impacts of enhanced nitrogen deposition on forest structure and function and responses of forest ecosystems to decreasing nitrogen deposition in regions such as the European Union and North America.
Finally, the book reviews indicators and thresholds for nitrogen saturation in global forests and analyzes remediation options to reduce impacts of excess nitrogen deposition. This is an important resource for researchers in forestry and biodiversity conservation, as well as graduate students, policymakers and others who want to understand environmental issues of reactive nitrogen deposition in global forests.
- Offers a systematic view of the ecological impacts of enhanced nitrogen deposition
- Provides the most comprehensive knowledge on spatial variation and the ecological impacts of reactive nitrogen deposition in global forests
- Presents expert research and findings on forest management options to remediate negative impacts

Enzai Du is a professor at Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University. His research interests focus on biogeochemical processes in forest ecosystems and their responses to multiple global change factors, especially nitrogen deposition, climate change, air pollution and urbanization. He has authored and co-authored 50 papers in peer-reviewed journals, including Nature Geoscience, Nature Climate Change and PNAS. Many of these papers focus on the pattern of atmospheric nitrogen deposition and its impacts on forest ecosystems. He also serves as the coordinator of IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organizations) research unit (8.04.03) on atmospheric deposition, soils and nutrient cycles. He has co-edited two special issues on forest ecosystems in response to global environmental change in Science of the Total Environment and Environmental Pollution. He has also coedited a book entitled Atmospheric Reactive Nitrogen in China: Emission, Deposition and Environmental Impacts (Springer). Wim de Vries is a professor at the Environmental Systems Analysis Group of Wageningen University where he holds the chair "Integrated nitrogen impact assessment. His research is currently organized around impacts of the elevated use of nutrients (especially nitrogen and phosphorus) in agriculture on air-, soil - and water quality and related impacts on crop and forest productivity and plant species diversity. His special research interest is in the field of soil chemistry with special reference to soil acidification, nutrient cycling, greenhouse gas emissions and heavy metal pollution. He has authored and co-authored about 600 publications on the above-mentioned topics, including ca 200 publications in international peer reviewed journals. He has co-edited three special issues on Nitrogen Fluxes to Air and Water in Environmental Pollution, on Nitrogen related Greenhouse Gases in Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability and on impacts of nitrogen deposition on forests at global scale in Environmental Pollution.
