| Abstract: | The organic carbon content of wet and bulk deposition was measured from February through to December 1981 at four stations surrounding Chesapeake Bay. Organic carbon is removed from the atmosphere in association with both wet and dry deposition. Regional yearly wet and dry depositional rates were approximately equal, with a total yearly deposition rate of 11.3 g C m−2 y−1. Atmospheric deposition provides an important flux of organic material to Chesapeake Bay and must be considered if biogeochemical cycles are to be fully understood. |
