Abstract

The ART project's aim was to build further the evidence base for understanding the reduction effect and techniques in the field which are used to qualitatively and quantitatively understand the process of ammonia capture by trees. Ammonia concentrations were measured at five case study farms in Cumbria with existing woodland planting in the vicinity of livestock housing. The aim of this study is to provide field measurement data to contribute towards assessing how effective treebelts are at reducing ammonia concentrations downwind of a variety of agricultural livestock housing and to provide datasets for current and future model verification.
