The plots are made based on the MMM from ACCMIP by a time-slice simulation (4–10 y) starting at in 2000 (archived at badc.nerc.ac.uk/home/index.html). (A) The fractional total nitrogen from reduced nitrogen deposition (NH3 + NH4+) to the total nitrogen deposition [NH3 + NH4+ + oxidized nitrogen (NO + NO2 + HNO3 + HNO4 + NO3 + N2O5 + PAN + other organic nitrates)]. (B) The same as in A, but for the total nitrogen from oxidized nitrogen deposition. The unit is percentage.
