Abstract
We present data which show that soluble organic nitrogen (SON) is an important component of tropical continental rains, especially in remote unpolluted sites where it represents up to 90% of the total soluble nitrogen. The inclusion of SON wet deposition in the N budget significantly increases the N nutrient input to the soil vegetation reservoir of Venezuelan ecosystems.
