Comparative Hydrochemical Behaviour and Element Budgets of the Aubure (Vosges Massif) and Mont-Lozère (Southern Massif Central) Norway Spruce Forested Catchments

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

Abstract

Since the late 1970s, small catchments have been extensively used all around the world to investigate the effect of land use and/or acid atmospheric deposition on surface water chemistry and ecosystem acidification. Most of the studies were undertaken in the USA (Likens et al. 1977), the Scandinavian countries (Wright and Johannessen 1980; Hultberg 1985), Canada (Thompson et al. 1980), Czechoslovakia (Paces 1985) and Germany (Hauhs and Wright 1986), where forest dieback and/or surface water acidification have been related to the atmospheric pollution.
