Resumo

SERRA DOS ÓRGÃOS, RJ.Wet and dry (dust) deposition was measured in the Serra dos Órgãos National Park.VWM pH was 5.3.Non-sea-salt (nss) SO 4 2-comprised 97% of total SO 4 2-.The molar ratio [2(nss-SO 4 2-) + NO 3 -]/[NH 4 + + H + ] was 1.1, suggesting that pH is predominantly controlled by H 2 SO 4 , HNO 3 , and NH 3 .Wet deposition of NH 4 + , NO 3-, and nss-SO 4 2-was respectively 0.59, 0.25, and 0.30 kmol ha -1 yr -1 .Assuming that dry deposition of N can comprise 30-50% of its total (dry + wet) deposition, the latter is estimated to be 1.2-1.7 kmol ha -1 yr -1 (17-24 kg N ha -1 yr -1 ).
