The deposition velocity of NH3 in forests and other natural ecosystems is often about 10 to 50 mm/sec (Sutton et al. 1993). Given the range of concentrations of NH3 in the atmosphere (Table 3.5), what is the expected range of dry deposition of NH3 in terrestrial ecosystems?

Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.

The Koc value for a contaminant is 6,000. Now we want to evaluate the adsorption capacity of the contaminant at a field site that has three distinguishable horizons. The average organic carbon content for the A, B, and C horizons is 0.9%, 0.12%, and 0.02%, respectively. Question: Predict Kd for each horizon, and discuss generally the speed at which the contaminant moves through each soil horizon. *(Kd) = (foc) x (Koc)
