Leaching and Uptake of Ions Through Above-Ground Norway Spruce Tree Parts

  • Conference paper
Book cover Forest Decline and Air Pollution

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 77))

Abstract

Increasing air pollution in Central Europe during the last century has resulted in a substantial input of inorganic ions into the forest ecosystem. Deposition mainly occurs through snow and rainfall, fog and cloudwater impaction, dry deposition of particles, and upon solution of acidic gases in the water films of wet surfaces, e.g., after dewfall (see Part 1).
