TLDR
Current information suggests that a critical load of 5-10 kg ha (-1) year(-1) of total N deposition (both dry and wet deposition combined of all atmospheric N species) would protect the most vulnerable terrestrial ecosystems (heaths, bogs, cryptogams) and values of 10-20 kg ha-1 year-1 would protect forests, depending on soil conditions.

Progress in developing spray-drying methods for the production of controlled morphology particles: From the nanometer to submicrometer size ranges

TL;DR: In this paper, an aerosol-assisted self-assembly technique, with a spray-drying method as a representative of it, is thoroughly reviewed, and the performance of various particle morphologies is also demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced nitrogen in ecology and the environment.

TL;DR: An increase in fertilizer use through increasing demands for food and biofuels as population increases is expected, and management of ammonia or abatement is necessary.
