Indirect effects and the Long-term Risks of Air Pollution on Forest Ecosystems: Effects on Forest Soils

1993

Billett, M.F. (University of Aberdeen Scotland (United Kingdom))

Long-term changes in forest soils are characterised by decreases in soil pH, exchangeable base cations, percent base saturation and accumulation of heavy metals. Acidic deposition effects on forest soils can be demonstrated experientially either in the laboratory or in the field by stimulated acid treatments.
