Summary
The surface exchange of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was investigated over three European ecosytems (grassland, farmland, heathland) during extended field campaigns in 1989–1991. The applied flux measuring method (dynamic chamber technique) was successfully intercompared to micrometeorological and other techniques. In general, NO emission (from soils) and NO2 deposition (to vegetation) was found for the different ecosystems which could be quantified for different time scales. Influencing factors of both, NO emission and NO2 deposition were identified and studied by field as well as by laboratory experiments.
