Acid deposition : soil acidification : literature review / by A.G. Bobba.: En13-5/88-109E-PDF

"The current state of knowledge on the effects of acid precipitation on vegetation and soils is assessed. Research studies, mostly from North America and Scandinavia, dealing with the effects of acid rain on soil chemistry and soil biochemical processes are reviewed. The effects of acidic deposition in its three forms (dry deposition of gaseous materials, dry deposition as particulate and wet deposition) are currently less understood than the cause. A growing body of evidence suggests that acidic deposition is contributing to the acidification of certain freshwater lakes in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Several important conclusions from this review are presented"--Abstract.
