Abstract

The change in land use promotes climate change and the loss of diversity, producing effects on the atmosphere, ecosystems and human health. Land use change scenarios, together with transport chemistry models (CTM) are effective tools to analyze the causes and consequences of atmospheric dynamics in various spatial or temporal scenarios. The objective is to evaluate the variables of dry deposition of NOy and surface concentration of NOx, calculated by the LOTOS-EUROS transport chemistry model, in different proposed city scenarios in the Aburra Valley (AMVA), generating an approximation to evaluate and predict the consequences of the cover changes on the atmospheric dynamics of nitrogen in the AMVA and its possible effect on the surrounding ecosystems from a modeling perspective. A land use classification was made with the 23 categories of Global Land Cover (GLC) for Colombia resolution (0.3km ∗ 0.3km),
