Atmospheric deposition of nitrogen - application of stable isotopes
Hanzlová, Barbora ; Hůnová, Iva (advisor) ; Hovorka, Jan (referee)
Based on the literature review, the thesis summarizes the use of stable isotopes in the atmospheric deposition. According to the studies and empirical research, the origin and the extent of the pollution in the environment can be tracked down. Due to the different isotopic values, it is possible to evaluate the extent of human impact on the natural cycle of the ecosystem. Nitrogen can be found in all nature constituents where it gains different isotopic values. The objective of this work was to gather the information about the stable isotopes and to prove whether they are reliable indicators in determining the source of the nitrogen in the given area. By using the evaluated study, the difference in pollution within the coastal and continental areas in Central Europe was described. Keywords: atmospheric deposition, nitrogen cycle, stable nitrogen isotopes, fractionation
