Sulfur Chemistry, Deposition, and Cycling in Forests

  • Chapter
Atmospheric Deposition and Forest Nutrient Cycling

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 91))

Overview

Sulfur is an important element in the biogeochemistry of forest ecosystems because of its role as an essential plant nutrient (Duke and Reisenauer 1986; Lambert 1986; Lambert et al. 1976; Turner and Lambert 1980) and because of the contribution of S04 2- as a counter ion in altering the flux of other elements, especially acidic (H+ and Al3+) and basic (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+) cations in soil solutions (Johnson et al. 1982; Reuss and Johnson 1986). The role of SO4 2, as well as the other mobile anions (N03¯, CI¯, and HCO3¯), in affecting both pool sizes and fluxes of cations is detailed in Chapter 8 (under Base Cation Distribution and Cycling).
