Abstract
Several studies have provided information on changes in soil chemistry for specific sites in the South, and others have evaluated the regional sensitivity of soils to strong acid inputs. In this chapter, we discuss the site-specific studies and then examine the previous investigations that have assessed the regional sensitivity of soils in the South to acidic deposition. We conclude by considering the criteria that have been used to define sensitive soils, and we develop our own definitions for use in the computer simulation runs in chapter 7.
