Implications of base cation deposition from increased climate-driven wildfires in the United States

Although climate-driven wildfires in the United States have significantly increased fire-derived base cation deposition, these increases are spatially inconsistent with and vastly outweighed by concurrent rises in acidifying nitrogen and sulfur deposition, ultimately failing to offset the broader risk of ecosystem acidification and critical load exceedances.
