Ammonia Reduction from Trees 2 (ART2) Shropshire project phase 3

The project objectives are to

• provide evidence of the effect of a tree shelter belt on ammonia emissions from intensive, ventilated poultry sheds, extended to cover a full calendar year, so that the effect of leaf fall and weather patterns is assessed over more monitoring periods of the poultry cycle and all seasons
• to evaluate the effectiveness of a narrow tree belt in a hedgerow or agroforestry system in comparison to other tree shelter belt planting designs in previous ART experiments and existing tools and guidance
• to compare ammonia concentrations using different monitoring techniques:

o 11 passive alpha samplers in transects and 2 Directional Passive Air Samplers (DPAS)

• to inform better advice and guidance to farmers on ammonia mitigation and guidance for potential inclusion in future environmental land management schemes
• to inform the targeting of any advice and grants on tree planting for ammonia
