Atmospheric Deposition in France and Possible Relation with Forest Decline

  • Conference paper
Forest Decline and Atmospheric Deposition Effects in the French Mountains

Abstract

With the exception of a few pioneering studies such as the work of Albert Levy (1877-1907, in Ulrich and Williot 1993) at the turn of the last century, precipitation chemistry monitoring in rural areas really began in France at the end of the 1970s (BAPMON and EMEP networks), as a result of international studies showing the negative impact of precipitation acidity on surface waters and the possibilities of long-range pollution transport (Gorham and Gordon 1960; Zéphoris et al. 1984). No dense deposition network covering the whole country was organized until the end of the 1980s, but a large number of local studies were initiated, the results of which were often never published.
