Eutrophication

Currently, the most important impact of air pollution on ecosystems and biodiversity is eutrophication caused by airborne nitrogen deposition to ecosystems. 

The fallout of atmospheric nitrogen is a threat to biodiversity in many nitrogen-poor ecosystems, such as this heath with pasque flowers (Pulsatilla vulgaris). Photo: Christopher Gunnarsson
