Deposition of hydrogen ions is closely linked with rainfall amount. Although most of the region covered by the network had hydrogen ion inputs of about 0. 5 kg ha-1 yr-1, there were areas with much larger amounts of hydrogen deposited, exceeding 1 kg ha-1 yr-1. 1, record 1, English, - kg%20ha%2D1%20yr%2D1

Des valeurs pour l'absorption foliaire de l'ammoniac atteignant au maximum 30 kg ha-1 an-1 ont été calculées, bien qu'une valeur moyenne de 5 kg kg ha-1 an-1 soit proposée pour la France. Les taux d'absorption de l'azote et de l'ammoniac dépendent sans doute du taux de pollution et des concentrations relatives de ces deux composés dans l'air. 1, record 1, French, - kg%20ha%2D1%20an%2D1

Deposition patterns for hydrogen and sulfate ion are similar to that of pH on this scale, with the pH 5 contour typically corresponding to a hydrogen ion deposition of 10 mg m-2y-1(10 meg m-2y-1) and to an excess sulfate(i. e., with seasalt sulfate deducted) ion deposition of ca. 1 g S m-2y-1(10 meg m-2y-1). 1, record 3, English, - seasalt%20sulfate
