Risø's Integrated Environmental Project (RIMI) is an interdisciplinary research project aimed at the study of pathways, processes and effects of anthropogenically derived nitrogen compounds in the terrestrial environment. Deposition of nitrogen compounds emitted to the atmosphere plays an important role in both acidification of ecosystems, and there is a substantial need for more precise information on both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the problem.

The integrated project follows several of the recommendations from a international evaluation of Danish environmental research. The project combines research from different disciplines such as atmospheric transport and chemistry, plant physiology, soil biology, biochemistry and geochemistry.

The field station is central in the project. It is situated in a rural area 2 km east of Risø National Laboratory. The area is a conventional Danish agricultural area. The field station is comprised of a 10 m meteorological mast placed in the middle of a field and an instrument hut placed at the margin of the field. The mast and the hut is connected with underground wires for power supply and data transfer.
