英文摘要 | Nitrogenous aerosols are ubiquitous in the environment and thus play a vital role in the nutrient balance as well as the Earth's climate system. However, their abundance, sources, and deposition are poorly understood, particularly in the fragile and ecosensitive Himalayan and Tibetan Plateau (HTP) region. Here, we report concentrations of nitrogen species and isotopic composition (delta N-15) in aerosol samples collected from a forest site in the HTP (i.e., Southeast Tibet). Our results revealed that both organic and inorganic nitrogen contribute almost equally with high abundance of ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) and water-insoluble organic nitrogen (WION), contributing similar to 40% each to aerosol total nitrogen (TN). The concentrations and delta N-15 exhibit a significant seasonality with similar to 2 times higher in winter than in summer with no significant diurnal variations for any species. Moreover, winter aerosols mainly originated from biomass burning emissions from North India and East Pakistan and reached the HTP through a long-range atmospheric transport. The TN dry deposition and total deposition fluxes were 2.04 kg ha(-1) yr(-1) and 6.12 kg ha(-1) yr(-1) respectively. Our results demonstrate that the air contamination from South Asia reach the HTP yand is most likely impacting the high altitude ecosystems in an accepted scenario of increasing emissions over South Asia. |
