An investigation by @UK_CEH has shown that a volcanic eruption in Iceland caused sulphur dioxide in air across areas of Scotland to spike to levels we likely have not experienced since the 1970s.

An 11-15% reduction in sulphate deposition from the atmosphere was seen across the entire Ukrainian part of the catchment. Sulphates scatter solar radiation and change weather patterns like rain and cloud cover.

These findings emphasize the crucial role of local and regional factors in atmospheric deposition dynamics and underscore the absolute need for peace as a prerequisite for sustainable N management and safeguarding our environment.

In the middle and upper parts of Dniester, the influx of refugees and businesses to these regions gradually offset the impacts of war; if current trends continue, the amount of N pollution observed in the area is only going to keep increasing.

📢New article
Now is the time for governments and farmers to act, @MarkNitrogen advises. ‘Plan now to reduce your #nitrogen losses and keep it in the crop, where you want it, which is also good for the environment.'

South Asian forests are biodiverse ecosystems that are home to many sensitive and economically important flora. The experiments are designed to assess species sensitivity thresholds to NH3 pollution and help identify organisms and ecosystem services at risk of NH3 impacts. 🌳🌳🌳
