Sulphur and nitrogen atmospheric Concentration Based Estimated Deposition (CBED) data for the UK, 2018-2020
THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.
A mapping error occurred in the ammonia data of CBED 2018-2020. This also translates to an error in total nitrogen deposition.
The origin of the error is an R software update problem using the library 'proj4' to project to British National Grid which did not project correctly. Further QC checks have been put in place to help prevent this type of error occurring again. As an update, CBED and APIS - 2019-2021 will be published soon (see https://www.apis.ac.uk/revised-APIS-2019 )

This dataset provides Concentration Based Estimated Deposition (CBED) values of sulphur and nitrogen atmospheric deposition for 1x1 kilometres (km) grid squares of the UK averaged over the years 2018 to 2020.
The data consist of deposition values for sulphur, oxidised nitrogen and reduced nitrogen, and base cations. Total deposition is the sum of four components calculated separately: wet deposition, dry deposition of gases, dry deposition of particulate matter and cloud droplet deposition.
Habitat-specific data are provided for (i) moorland/short vegetation everywhere, and (ii) forest everywhere. Additionally, the grid square average over multiple land cover types (i.e. arable, grassland, forest, moorland, urban) is also calculated. The habitat-specific data are recommended for use with critical loads for the calculation of critical load exceedances. The work in generating and compiling the dataset has been funded by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and various Departments for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) contracts.
