In large regions of Europe and eastern North America atmospheric deposition of inorganic nitrogen compounds has greatly increased the natural external supply to forest ecosystems. This leads to nitrogen saturation, in which availability of inorganic nitrogen is in excess of biological demand and the ecosystem is unable to retain all incoming nitrogen. The large-scale experiments of the NITREX project (nitrogen saturation experiments) are designed to provide information regarding the patterns and rates of responses of coniferous forest ecosystems to increases in N deposition and the reversibility and recovery of impacted ecosystems following reductions in N deposition. The nitrogen input-output data from the NITREX sites are consistent with the general pattern of nitrogen fluxes from forest ecosystems in Europe. At annual inputs of less than about 10 kg ha-1 year-1, nearly all the nitrogen is retained and outputs are very small. At inputs above about 25 kg ha-1 year-1 outputs are substantial. In the range 10-25 kg ha-1 year-1 these forest ecosystems undergo a transition to nitrogen saturation. The 10 kg ha-1 year-1 apparently represents the minimum threshold for nitrogen saturation.The NITREX experiments indicate that nitrogen outputs respond markedly across the 10-25 kg ha-1 year-1 range of inputs. In contrast, the nutrient concentrations in foliage, a measure of tree response, is delayed by several years. Nitrogen saturation can apparently be induced or reversed within only a few years, at least with respect to the commonly used diagnostic of nitrogen saturation-nitrogen output in leachate or runoff.
