Sensitivity of emissions, concentration and deposition in the bi-directional ammonia system to a 50 per cent increase in the soil gamma, a 50 per cent increase in the fertilization rate and parametrizing the apoplast gamma as a function of the annual nitrogen deposition and fertilizer application following Massad et al. [34].
