Abstract

Over the past century, atmospheric inorganic nitrogen (IN) deposition to terrestrial ecosystems has significantly increased and caused various environmental issues. China has been one of the hotspot regions for IN deposition, yet limited data exist regarding IN deposition fluxes in China at the regional scale. In this study, based on NO2 and NH3 columns acquired by satellite sensors, coupled with atmospheric chemical transport model (CTM), mixed-effects model and site observations, we constructed regional-scale IN dry and wet deposition models respectively, and finally proposed a spatially explicit database of IN deposition fluxes in China. The database includes the dry, wet and total deposition fluxes in China during 2011–2020, and the data are presented in raster form with a resolution of 0.25° × 0.25°. Overall, the database is of great importance for monitoring and simulating the trends of IN deposition over a long time series in China.
