- Abstract
The article presents a study which aims to assess the impacts of nitrogen (N) deposition on the composition of plant species. The study uses the integrated soil-vegetation models to predict the composition of plant species as function of atmospheric N and acidity deposition and coupled models were used in an inverse way in determining critical loads. The result shows that both model-based and empirical critical loads are the powerful tools to evaluate a reliable value for defined ecosystems.
