Atmospheric Deposition emissions and how to reduce them

A quick summary of why atmospheric deposition represents part of my emissions and how I can address it.

  1. Where do atmospheric deposition emissions come from?
    Ammonia from fertiliser or manure volatilises and redeposits onto soils, indirectly contributing to nitrous oxide emissions.
  2. How can I reduce my atmospheric deposition emissions?
    • Incorporate fertiliser into the soil to limit ammonia loss.
    • Use stabilised fertilisers treated with urease inhibitors.
    • Time applications to coincide with cool, moist conditions.
