Bulk atmospheric deposition data along an agricultural-to-urban transect, central Ohio, 2021-2022

Abstract:

As precipitation acidity in the United States has decreased dramatically over the past forty years, new questions have emerged about the role of base cations and nitrogen (N) species in regulating precipitation pH. To address these questions, we studied precipitation chemistry in Ohio, a state with high N deposition and a mix of urban, industrial, and agricultural land use. This dataset contains precipitation chemistry and the flux of particulate matter collected at four sites along an agricultural-urban transect in central Ohio over the summers of 2021 and 2022. Samples were collected weekly from three or five replicate passive bulk deposition collectors at each site. In the lab, we filtered the samples and calculated the flux of total particulate matter. Liquid samples were measured for pH, nitrate, ammonium, and major ions. This dataset is complete and will not be added to in the future.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Samples of bulk deposition were collected weekly from three or five replicate collectors at each of four sites along an agricultural-urban transect in central Ohio. Each collector included a 25.4 cm diameter plastic funnel connected to flexible tubing that drained into a 1-liter Nalgene bottle. Each week, we collected the Nalgene bottles from every collector and replaced them with empty acid-washed bottles. We rinsed each collector thoroughly with at least 100 mL of deionized water and collected the rinse sample in a separate acid-washed Nalgene bottle. In the lab, we first separated the liquid from the particulates by filtering the samples through pre-weighed 0.45 μm polysulfone filters. Filters were dried and weighed after filtration to calculate the flux of total bulk particulate matter deposition. Any large bug or plant particles were removed from the filter before weighing because they were likely not atmospherically derived. Liquid samples were stored in 60 mL Nalgene bottles and refrigerated for one day until analysis. Nitrate concentrations were measured colorimetrically with the mid-range cadmium reduction method (range of 0.2 to 5.0 mg N L-1) using a Hach DR900 Multiparameter Portable Colorimeter. Ammonium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium concentrations were measured by ion chromatography on a Dionex Integrion HPIC. The pH of each bulk deposition sample was measured using a Thermo Scientific Orion Star A215 pH/Conductivity Meter. We calculated total particulate matter deposition by taking the total particulate matter weight and dividing it by the area of the collector and the number of days.
