China is considered one of the nitrogen deposition hotspots in the world. Measurements to date have focused mainly on inorganic nitrogen, organic nitrogen and the size distribution of particulate nitrogen has yet to be studied. Lack of dry deposition observations imposes a reliance on models, resulting in a much larger uncertainty relative to wet deposition which is routinely measured. In this study, dry and wet organic and inorganic nitrogen deposition were comprehensively measured in Nanjing in 2019, and nitrogen species in size-segregated particles were investigated. Total annual nitrogen deposition flux was up to 29.96 kg N ha yr in Nanjing, with wet deposition contributed slightly more (51.90%) to total deposition than dry deposition (48.10%). Observations revealed that reduced nitrogen (NH = NH + NH) contributed 65.49% of the total inorganic nitrogen deposition budget, which implied that the control of reduced N in urban environments is needed to improve local air quality. Dry deposition of ammonia played an especially key role in dry deposition, contributing from 18.17% to 55.91% in different seasons. The deposition flux of water-soluble organic nitrogen (WSON) dominated by wet deposition, with the wet WSON about 4.6 times higher than that of dry deposition and contributed 41.18% of the wet nitrogen deposition. The wet N deposition in summer was significantly higher than in the other three seasons. The seasonal patterns in dry deposition were driven mostly by seasonal concentration patterns. The highest deposition of ammonia occurred in summer, while the deposition of nitrogen dioxide, particulate ammonium and nitrate peaked in winter. The maximum dry and wet WSON deposition appeared in autumn. Higher NH concentration almost distributed in each size bin and centered in ranges of 0.18–1.0 μm, while higher NO concentration scattered in particle size ranges of 1.8–5.6 μm and 0.18–1.0 μm.
