- Mathematical models of deposition processes to forests require information on several parameters that need investigation under experimental conditions. Among such parameters is the aerosol capture efficiency of leaves, in particular in terms of the dependency of this efficiency on aerosol type and wind speed. In this contribution, a wind-tunnel approach is used to provide quantitative estimates of capture efficiencies, at various wind velocities, for oak (Quercus robur L.) leaves. For a poly-disperse aerosol carrying a tracer substance (chloride) with ca 80% of its mass borne by particles smaller than ca 3 µm, average capture efficiencies found for Q. robur leaves were 0.0035 at wind speed 2 ms-1, 0.0023 at wind speed 5 ms-1, and 0.0019 at wind speed 9 ms-1. Corresponding values in terms of deposition velocity per unit leaf surface area are 0.7, 1.1, and 1.7 cm s-1. However, the spread in the capture-efficiency values was large. Factors potentially underpinning this spread are discussed, and include variation in the biological material used, and effects of relative humidity on particle size. These results promote possibilities for modelling aerosol-sink processes within various canopy layers (with differing leaf-surface area densities and wind speeds) and can thus assist in estimating aerosol-borne inputs of various chemical substances to forest ecosystems.
