中文摘要：

中国政府近年来大幅度增加对基础科学研究的投入，而有关氮沉降的研究也在相关基金的支持下得到了快速的发展．但是有关中国氮沉降研究的现状，例如投入的资金数量和得到的研究成果较少．在分析近年来国家自然科学基金在这一领域资助情况的基础上，统计了发表在中文期刊上的相关文章数量．结果表明，基金数和文章的发表数量在近年来呈现增加的趋势，并且两者之间存在正相关关系．国家自然科学基金对申请者的名额及资金额度的增加明显有利于科学研究的进步．基于氮沉降的研究现状，也提出将来需要进一步研究的方向．

英文摘要：

Chinese government has invested increasing funds on fundamental scientific research, among which the nitrogen deposition research in China blooms with the support of sufficient funds. However, little is known about the amount of fund that has been input to this field, as well as the exact status of outcomes. This review focuses on the amount of funds supporting nitrogen deposition research from National Natural Science Foundation of China （NSFC） and papers published in Chinese journals during the last decade （2000--2011）. The results indicate that both funding and papers have increased and shown a positive correlation between them. We suggest that increasing research funds would make a noticeable contribution to the progress of scientific research. Some perspectives for future nitrogen deposition research in China are aslo proposed in this review.
