AbstractNitrogen (N) is essential for life, yet most of it exists as inert atmospheric N2, inaccessible to most living organisms. Only a small fraction of N – reactive N (Nr)– is biologically available and directly usable by plants and microbes. Bioavailable forms of N are exchanged between the atmosphere and terrestrial environments primarily through emission and precipitation, or wet deposition. Understandings of deposition are shifting, from a general focus on inorganic acidic solutes such as nitrate
