Ammonia in the Environment Atmosphere Dominant alkaline gas 2 aerosol formation Emissions Mostly agricultural Deposition Traditionally a one-way street Bidirectional Flux Two-way street Governed by compensation point (χ) Poorly constrained Lacking in most models p-(nh 4 ) 2 SO 4 p-nh 4 NO 3 Aerobic Soil Conditions NH 3(g) NH 3 NH 4 + (aq) NO 3 - (aq) NO 2 - (aq) Zhang et al. (2010) J. Geophys. Rev., 115, D20310. Ellis et al. (2011) Atmos. Chem. Phys., 11, 133.

NH 3 Soil Compensation Point (χ soil ) Equilibrium between NH 3(g, atmo) and NH 4 + (aq, soil) Dependent on soil temperature, ph and [NH 4+ ] If NH 3(g) < χ soil, then soil emission Bash et al. included bi-directional flux in CMAQ 10% increase in NH 3, 45% decrease in NH 3 dry deposition Bash et al. (2013) Biogeosciences, 10, 1625. Nemitz et al. (2004) Atmos. Chem. Phys., 4, 989.

CONTACT 2012 Characterizing Ontario Nitrogen Transport And Chemical Transformation Primary Objective Provide observational constraints on χ soil and NH 3 fluxes Motivation Lack of studies over non-fertilized grasslands Minimal field measurements of χ soil Egbert, ON ( ) August 13 to October 2 Zhang et al. (2010) J. Geophys. Rev., 115, D20310.

Methodology Atmospheric Sampling Ambient Ion Monitor-Ion Chromatograph (AIM-IC) Simultaneous on-line quantification (via Ion Chromatography) of water soluble: Gas-phase species (NH 3, HNO 3, SO 2, HCl, HONO, etc ) Ions in PM 2.5 (NH 4+, SO 4 2-, NO 3-, Cl -, NO 2-, etc ) Hourly time resolution Markovic et al. (2012) J. Environ. Monit., 14, 1872.

Methodology Soil Sampling Nitrogen Speciation Temperature/Water Content Hourly averages with commercial sensors ph ph electrode in 1:1 slurry of soil and deionized water Vegetation not sampled Small N-pool relative to soil Li et al. (2012) Commun. Soil Sci. Plan., 43, 571. Van Miegroet. (1995) Soil Sci. Soc. Am. J., 59, 549.

Results Soil Emission Potential (Γ soil ) Γ soil = [NH 4 + ] [H + ] First measured Γ soil in a non-fertilized grassland Lower end of literature value for grasslands Zhang et al. (2010) J. Geophys. Rev., 115, D20310.

Results NH 3(g) and Calculated χ soil Temporal trends in χ: Seasonal (lower values in autumn) Daily (lower values at dawn)

Results Estimated Fluxes Assumptions: z 0 is 0.05m Soil resistance and vegetation are negligible Previously measured fluxes : 4 ng m -2 s -1 in summer -24 ng m -2 s -1 in autumn Kruit et al. (2007) Atmos. Environ., 41, 1275. Seinfeld, J.H., Pandis, S.N. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. (Wiley, New York, 2006).

Results NH 3 Morning Spike Previous studies (i.e. Ellis et al.) observe morning peak of NH 3 at ~10:00 Possibly due to: Volatilization of dew/fog Plant/soil emissions Nocturnal BL break up Ellis et al. (2011) Atmos. Chem. Phys., 11, 133.

Bi-directional Exchange in Action? Used HYSPLIT to determine 48 hour back-trajectories Calculated every 6 hours during CONTACT Clear directional bias for PM 2.5 and precursor gases Except NH 3 Spatial homogeneity of local sources or evidence for bidirectional exchange?

Bi-directional Exchange in Action? Is the soil pool big enough? Average fluxes during August Boundary layer is 1000m Top 10cm of soil exchanges Soil is 1.5 g/cm 3 Is the exchange fast enough (how long to reach 50% equilibrium)? Using v ex and (χ soil NH 3 ) from August Height (m) 14:00 (fast) 01:00 (slow) 1000 ~11 hours ~37 hours 3 ~2 min ~7 min

Difficulties in Studying NH 3 Fluxes 1. Measure Fluxes Typically requires intensive field work (unrealistic over large area) 2. Estimate Fluxes from surface and atmospheric properties (i.e. T, [NH 4+ ], ph, μ, NH 3, etc ) Logistically easier Complicated by heterogeneity What methods are most representative of available NH 4 + and H +?

Conclusions 1. Γ soil (non-fertilized grassland) is well below previous measurements for fertilized grasslands 2. Estimated Soil Fluxes: Exhibit clear diurnal and seasonal trend 5 and -18 ng m -2 s -1 for Aug and Sept, respectively Consistent with previous measurements from Kruit et al. 3. Evidence that emissions from non-fertilized grasslands could sufficiently modulate near-surface NH 3 despite low Γ soil 4. Morning Spike of NH 3 is likely related to dew/fog Kruit et al. (2007) Atmos. Environ., 41, 1275.
