Potential for Ammonia Recapture by Farm Woodlands: Design and Application of a New Experimental Facility by Mark R. Theobald, Mark C. Milford, Mark K.J. Hargreaves, Mark L.J. Sheppard, Mark E. Nemitz, Mark Y.S. Tang, Mark V. R. Phillips, Mark R. Sneath, Mark L. McCartney, Mark F. J. Harvey, Mark I. D. Leith, Mark J. N. Cape, Mark D. Fowler, Mark M. A. Sutton

“…Due to the current financial climate in which farmers have to operate, it is important to identify ammonia control measures that can be adopted with minimum cost. The planting of trees around farmland and buildings has been identified as a potentially effective and low-cost measure to enhance ammonia recapture at a farm level and reduce long-range atmospheric transport. …”
