  • Chapter
Mechanisms of Forest Response to Acidic Deposition

Abstract

Acidic deposition is capable of altering the geochemistry of several elements important to forest productivity (Reuss and Johnson 1986). Long-term effects of acidic deposition may include accelerated depletion of base cations and increased concentrations of aluminum in soil solutions. Forest soils, which generally do not receive fertilizers and limestone, are therefore more susceptible to such effects than cultivated soils.
