The Atmospheric Sulphur Cycle

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Nutrients in Ecosystems ((NECO,volume 2))

Abstract

Emission, transmission and deposition of natural and anthropogenic air-borne S species are described with regard to their relevance to agriculture. Diurnal, annual and spatial patterns of emissions, concentrations and depositions are dealt with in detail. Trends of measured concentrations and depositions are presented. In Europe, the decrease of SO2 emissions has led to a considerable reduction in S deposition both from gaseous SO2 and particulate SO4 and SO3. All other S species are irrelevant for agricultural S balances. For agriculture, future depositions of sulphate S will be in the range of 5 to 10 kg ha−1 a−1. Depositions of gaseous SO2 will be in the same order of magnitude. As a considerable fraction of all S species is deposited outside the vegetation period, the future total plant available S deposition will be less than 10 kg ha−1 a−1 S.
