Abstract

The focus of this discussion is nitrogen deposition in rain and snow and how it affects park ecosystems. This is a story of how state and federal agencies, and university researchers have partnered to collect air quality information and craft a policy approach to help protect the park’s air quality and high-elevation ecosystems from the threat caused by nitrogen deposition.
