network of N deposition to China’s coastlines. Modelling should be used with
observed data to estimate the spatio-temporal patterns of N deposition over
China’s coastal seas and their consequent impacts on ecosystem processes.
Fig. 3.8 Patterns of observed wet N deposition in China’s coastal regions during the 2000s. There
are 13 sites located from north to south, including Dalian Jiaotong University (DJU, Liaoning
Province; Jiang and Shi 2007), Qianliyan Island (QLY, Shandong Province; Zhang et al. 2007),
Fulongshan (FLS, Shandong Province; Bi 2006), Shanghai (SH, Shanghai; Mei and Zhang 2007),
Shengsi (SS, Zhejiang Province; Zhang et al. 2007), Zhoushan (ZS, Zhejiang Province; Bi 2006),
Fenghua (FH, Zhejiang Province; Song 2008), Xiaoping (XP, Fujian Province; EANET 2006),
Hongwen (HW, Fujian Province; EANET 2006), South China Botanical Garden (SCIB, Guangdong Province; Huang et al. 2010), PKU Shenzhen Graduate School (SZPKU, Guangdong Province; Niu et al. 2008), Zhuxian Dong (ZXD, Guangdong Province; EANET 2006) and Xiangzhou
(XZ, Guangdong Province; EANET 2006)
