Acidity, defined as pH, is a central component of aqueous chemistry. In the atmosphere, the
acidity of condensed phases (aerosol particles, cloud water, and fog droplets) governs the …

Abstract Based on the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports of this thematic issue in Earth
System Dynamics and recent peer-reviewed literature, current knowledge of the effects of …

Short‑lived climate forcers (SLCFs) affect climate and are, in most cases, also air pollutants.
They include aerosols (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, carbonaceous aerosols, mineral dust …

Atmospheric deposition of inorganic nitrogen is critical to the function of ecosystems and
elemental cycles. During the industrial period, humans have doubled the amount of …

A key Earth system science question is the role of atmospheric deposition in supplying vital
nutrients to the phytoplankton that form the base of marine food webs. Industrial and …

Several hands are now working worldwide to reduce exposure to air pollution, especially in
developing nations. Future steps should be determined and classified as possible research …

The pelagic brown macroalgae Sargassum spp. have grown for centuries in oligotrophic
waters of the North Atlantic Ocean supported by natural nutrient sources, such as excretions …

Dust particles from high latitudes have a potentially large local, regional, and global
significance to climate and the environment as short-lived climate forcers, air pollutants, and …

Atmospheric deposition is a source of potentially bioavailable iron (Fe) and thus can partially
control biological productivity in large parts of the ocean. However, the explanation of …

The Asian interior contains the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB, the longest accretionary
orogen on Earth), the largest mid-latitude desert, and the most widespread late Cenozoic …
