Abstract

Atmospheric deposition is still one of the major environmental issues in Asia. The joint research projects for catchment-scale analysis have been conducted in a tropical rainforest Danum Valley Malaysia tropical seasonal forest Sakaerat Thailand and temperate coniferous forest Kajikawa Japan for future monitoring in EANET. In Kajikawa site the possibility of nitrogen saturation was suggested by the largest level of nitrogen deposition. In tropical forests acid buffering capacity of the ecosystems was higher in Danum Valley site than in Sakaerat site. The data in different climates will be useful for biogeochemical model as it may contribute to atmospheric management.
