Abstract
The objectives of this poster are to describe recent advances in critical loads science and application in the United States (U.S.), including critical load definitions, the National Critical Load Database (NCLD), and critical load maps. A series of critical load maps based on NCLD data are presented for the U.S. New critical load research, new and future products, and future directions for critical loads science and application are also outlined.
