Abstract
In this work we use the FRAME model to assess the changes in sulphur and nitrogen deposition for the 2000–2030 period in the Poland-Saxony transboundary area. The results show that the sulphur and oxidised nitrogen deposition was significantly decreased (by 60 and 45 % respectively). This resulted in significant reduction of the ecosystems affected by acidification. Deposition of reduced nitrogen resulting in eutrophication is currently, and forecast to remain, the main threat for the ecosystems of this area.
