Abstract
Our ability to determine the effects of wet and dry deposition of acidic substances on soils and forests is directly dependent on:
-
1.
The identification of the important wet- and dry-deposition processes.
-
2.
The determination of the nature of the effect, i.e. cumulative versus episodic, relative to the depositional process.
-
3.
The quantitative measurement of the deposition rates of each process.
