| Abstract: | Wet deposition of total phosphorus has been measured as part of the New Jersey Atmospheric Deposition Network (NJADN). Precipitation samples were collected in 1999—2001, using automated wet-only precipitation collectors at four sites in New Jersey, representing different land-use regimes. Total phosphorus volume-weighted mean concentrations (VWM) and the wet depositional fluxes were estimated on seasonal and annual timescales. VWM concentrations (± standard error) of total phosphorus ranged from 4.1 ± 0.80 to 15 ± 8.8 μg L-1 at all sites and were of similar magnitude across the region. The wet deposition flux estimates ranged from 3.9 to 14 mg m-2 y-1. VWM concentrations and fluxes were similar to those measured at other locations in the eastern United States. |
