The input-output dynamics of inorganic nitrogen (NH~+_ 4 and NO~-_3) and sulfur (SO~ 2- _ 4 ) were investigated under acid rain in Caijiatang (CJT) forested catchment in Hunan Province during the period 2001~2003. Results show that total N-input flux is estimated to be 24~28 kg·hm~ -2 ·a~ -1 and the total N-output flux to be 2~3 kg·hm~ -2 ·a~ -1 between 2001 and 2003, indicating a net N retention of 22~26 kg·hm~ -2 ·a~ -1 in CJT forested catchment. The input flux of NH~+_ 4 accounts for 62%~67 % of total N-input flux. The output flux of NO~-_3 amounts to 83%~98 % of total N-output flux. The net retention of SO~ 2- _ 4 is calculated to be 13~21 kg·hm~ -2 ·a~ -1 . Although the high N deposition flux results in the output of N from CJT catchment, the output part accounts for 8%~9% of the input N, which suggests that the flux of N retained by the forest system is higher than 90 % of the input N. CJT forest is of high N-input, but the forest is far from the nitrogen saturation.
