摘要：
Particulate organic and elemental carbon and nitrogen as well as NOx fluxes from scientific activities have been computed for Taylor Valley, Antarctica (similar to 78 degrees S). These authropogenic fluxes have been compared to both the "natural" fluxes and landscape reservoirs as determined from Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) investigations in the valley. The anthropogenic, nongaseous carbon fluxes are minor compared to the natural fluxes, while the anthropogenic NOx flux may be potentially important over decadal time scales.
