Abstract

Ecosystem analysis as part of the International Biological Program, has shown that a considerable amount of nutrient input comes from the air through the filter action of vegetation. As investigations were carried out in remote areas, it appeared highly desirable to explore the conditions in the Ruhr district, one of the major industrial areas of the world.
