Atmospheric Deposition of Multi-Class Substances into the Ocean: Synthesis of Fluxes, Seasonal Spatial Patterns and Ecological Risks
Journal: Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Year: 2026

Atmospheric deposition is increasingly recognized as a significant pathway transporting diverse substances from land to the ocean. However, significant uncertainties persist regarding the magnitude, spatial variability, and ecological implications of these inputs into the ocean. This study compiles and standardizes observational datasets from published sources to provide a cross-substance synthesis of atmospheric concentrations, deposition fluxes, seasonal patterns, and ecological risks.
